Problem

Students frequently want to build together but lack a simple, low-pressure way to discover shared interests.

Solution

The project focuses on lightweight profiles, interest signals, and project briefs rather than a noisy social feed.

Architecture

  • Profile and interest model
  • Searchable project briefs
  • Simple moderation boundary
  • CI checks on every change

Features

  • Interest-based discovery
  • Project brief templates
  • Responsive cards
  • Clear empty states

Lessons learned

A project becomes more approachable when its first action is obvious and its data model mirrors the real-world conversation.
