Proposal by H. Atacan Demir
GotNotes is an online platform for college students to create communities around shared classes and share class notes.
As college students, we have all spent hours in various note sharing websites like Chegg, CourseHero, etc. to find that specific document we need to study for an upcoming exam.
How often did we find what we were looking for?
Not that often.
How often were we able to create a community to ask and answer questions with our peers?
Almost never.
Were we bombarded with ads that forced us to pay something to get something?
Every Single Time!
You'll suffer no longer my friend, GotNotes is here to save you!
This is for all college students who are fed up with currently existing course note sharing platforms that prey on students by asking for a payment for any useful feature that we could need.
The how is simple:
- Sign Up
- Select a University
- Browse the Course Catalogue
- Subscribe to the Courses You Are Taking
- Get the New Notes that Are Shared in your Feed
- Share your Notes
- And Chat with Your Classmates in the Course Group Chat that GotNotes automatically creates!
The question is what are you waiting for?!?
These will be implemented:
- file upload and download systems that supports jpeg, pdf, doc, docx, pages.
- live chat rooms with websocket
- easy to use, minimalist, modern, and mobile friendly layout with reactjs.
- Login/Sign-up Page
- Page with College and Course Selection lists
- Page with subscribed courses and lists of documents shared to that course
- Live Chat rooms page with the User's subscribed courses
- authentication using google, facebook.
- If time permits, we will convert the project to a react native project and use expo for development purposes. At the end, we could have a cross platform app and a website!!
