View Demo
Table of Contents
The goal of this project was to provide me with a hands-on experience of building a web application using the MERN stack, which includes MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js. I designed this clone to replicate the core features and functionalities of Stack Overflow, including:
- User registration and authentication
- Asking and answering questions
- Commenting and voting on questions and answers
- Searching for questions and answers
- Tagging questions and filtering by tags By building this project, I gained a deep understanding of the technology and architecture behind web applications. I also improved my skills in designing and implementing APIs, routing, authentication, and database management.
