Uniben Forum Platform

Real-time social forum with auth and academic networking for university students.

Architecture

A full forum for University of Benin students: real-time messaging via Socket.io, JWT auth, posts, comments, profiles, notifications, and moderation.

React, Node, Express, and MongoDB.

The system lesson: fan-out of live updates without melting the server, so rooms, throttling, and sensible indexes.
