About the Project

This project is in collaboration with Fontys and Phillips. It's a school project, about making an "ethical" web application, with a question and answers in different subjects. When an user has a question, they can visit our website, create an account and ask their question. Alternatively, they could use the tools we provided to search and filter the questions already asked, in order to find an answer to their question, if it was laready asked.

Additionally, users can become experts on a subject, if they provide credentials to prove their knowledge. Administrators, manage the approval process through an admin panel, where they can also review flagged questions and answers to determine if they are inappropriate and should be deleted, manage users, subjects and get graphical representation based on statistics of what's popular around the website.
