Suncoast Overflow

As we explore the concepts of a full stack web app, a good way to practice is to duplicate an existing site. For this project, you will be creating a copy of a site that you know very well, StackOverflow.

The finished product will be due Friday, so this will be a little bigger. Pace yourself

First, we need to the database schema and start to build the API for the core functionality

Objectives

• Create a full stack web app, from database to API, to frontend, as well as styled
• Practice working in groups

Requirements

In groups of 2 or 3, create an anonymous question and answer site, that allows users to up-vote and down-vote questions and answers.

The core functionality is:

• as a user I should be able to view and search questions asked
• As a user I should be able to view a question and its answers
• As a user I should be able to post a question, this can anonymous, and should be for Explorer Mode
• As a user I should be able to answer a question
• As a user I should be able to up/down vote an answer
• As a user I should be able to up/down vote a question

Explorer Mode

• Create an ERD for the core functionality above
• Create API definitions for all the endpoints needed. This should include URLs, params, body, and return types.
• Create an API that supports your design
• Create the Client app application that uses your API

Adventure Mode

• Work on your capstone project
