About The Project

During the pandemic, we all were homebound; the campus culture of each college withered away. Watercooler conversation after class mentoring or Gyan sessions from seniors has become a tail of the past. So to bridge the gap of loss of engagement, I present to you, Vita.
A SAAS product to connect college graduates, alumni, and faculty to revive the culture of mentorship and foster a more connected and ENGAGED(pardon the pun) community.

Vita Meet
Linking Vita Meet with caucus
Infinite Scrolling on Search for Topics
Deploy on Netlify and Heroku
Design Doc
Add github workflows

Future Goals

Add Google Oauth
Add a login page and a way to add mentors from the Frontend (send form data to the backend, which after validation add user in mentors collection)
Add an admin panel to monitor all meetings.
If a mentor/mentee does not show up, report as a no-show, and restrict their account.
Improve Filters & add more topics
Add Full-text Search Functionality for finding mentors!
Add bookings page for each signed-in user, which allows the mentor to accept, deject and reschedule his appointments
Use Redis Adapter instead of Node Cache :3
Write Unit Test
