v(0.0.6-Alpha) Log out + Showing data from db
Update
- Added log out feature (it was quite easy just had to apply some display conditions to the buttons and remove the user’s token from the localStorage)
- Added data from the db in the form of cards on /browse. It is not at all good-looking. I’ll work on it once I implement the download feature in it.
What next?
- I’ll be implementing the download files feature
- I’ll start working on making the website responsive
v(0.0.5) Frontend revamp
Updates
- Revamped the frontend design
- Added drag and drop file submission feature
- The site is not yet responsive
- Log in and sign up pages are also changed
- Browse and home pages are changed (there are some white spaces that I hate rn but i’ll tackle that some other time)
- really loving working on this project can’t stop thinking about ideas!!
Next steps
- Will enhance the functionality of the header (now it is static meaning even if the user is logged in, it will show login/sign up buttons)
- I’ll add a logout button or smthng.
- Currently, all the uploaded files don’t appear on the /browse section so i’ll have to deal with that too!
v(0.0.4-Alpha) Upload Feature - Frontend
Updates
- Completed the frontend part of upload feature
- Added tags so that navigation is smoother
- Currently, i have only added india in the future, i’ll other countries too.
- I am not focusing much on design as well as responsiveness. I will tackle that towards the end.
What next?
- Next, I’ll work on the home page + browse page
- Browse page will display all the files uploaded by people
v(0.0.4-Alpha) Upload Feature - Backend
Updates
- Upload feature is working!!! (backend for now) that too smoothly!
- Used multer middleware to handle PDF uploads. Files up to 25MB are acceptable for now.
- PDFs are saved on /uploads folder on the server
- Only logged in logged in users can upload files
- Built /api/papers with filters like class, subject, exam_name, country, state, year and file_path.
What next?
- Now i’ll work on the frontend part of this feature
v(0.0.3-Alpha) Layout Design
Updates
- Making layouts is not a one time thing so I made a temporary layout which took a lot of trial and errors
- Don’t mind the colours/text size or fonts and all as it is still under development
- Currently it’s working only locally as the project is still in alpha version and also, nothing is responsive for smaller screen sizes
What Next?
- Most probably next I will be working on the Upload feature along with it’s backend
(v0.0.2-Alpha) Login and Sign up - Backend
Updates
- Login and signup functionality completed and is functional
- I also used bcrypt to encrypt the user’s password
What next?
- I will now work on the frontend part of the website so i will be making the dashboard, login and signup pages.
- I might have to look for good designs too
