ClusterDuck

• A website aimed at improving the Computer Science Community at Hunter College (and potential many more communities in the future)
• This project began development during the Hunter CS Winter 2019 CodeFest
• Check it out!

Problem

• Hunter College has honors computer science programs but majority of students are not enrolled in them and combined with the fact that Hunter College is a commuter school, having a community can be difficult to come around

Description

• We wanted to make something that will allow computer science majors to seemlessly communicate with another.
• We wanted this app to be the better version of piazza, stack overflow, and facebook all combined
• This app allows users to make an account and post questions/advice to other computer science majors
• The more a user contributes, the more points they earn for helping out the community
• Users can reply to one another, like/dislike the other user's posts and view each other's profiles

Tech Stack

Front-end

• React.js
• Bootstrap

Backend-end

• Node.js
• Express.js
• DBMS: MongoDB

Cloud Platform and Docker

• This application is hosted on Heroku
• We are using Docker but we are planning to improve the configurations

Authentication & Authorization

• This app allows users to either register and make their own accounts or use google-login and login with their google emails and credentials.
• If they decide to make an account through the app, we use json web tokens (and have implemented refresh token logic) to authorize users.
