IdeaVault – Startup Idea Community
Full-stack platform for discovering, publishing, and discussing startup ideas with secure authentication, social interactions, and scalable REST APIs.
Overview
IdeaVault is a full-stack platform where entrepreneurs and creators can publish startup ideas, discover concepts from the community, and collaborate through discussions.
The platform supports secure authentication with both email/password and Google OAuth, allowing users to create, edit, and manage ideas while interacting through comments and likes. Search, filtering, and sorting features improve discoverability, making it easier to explore growing collections of ideas.
The backend follows a modular REST API architecture built with Node.js, Express, and MongoDB, while the React frontend focuses on responsive design, protected routes, and smooth client-server communication. The project demonstrates practical experience building secure, scalable social platforms using modern JavaScript technologies.
