Project Overview: Reddit-Like Web App

Document Title: Project Overview

Version: 1.0

Purpose
The purpose of this project is to develop a Reddit-like web application that enables users to engage
in community-driven discussions through creating, sharing, and interacting with content. The app will
provide a platform for users to post text or links, comment on posts, vote on content, and organize
discussions into topic-specific groups similar to subreddits.

Objectives
●​ Build a functional Minimum Viable Product (MVP) that replicates core Reddit functionalities.
●​ Create an intuitive, responsive web interface accessible via desktop and mobile browsers.
●​ Foster user engagement through simple content creation and interaction tools.
●​ Launch a working prototype within a reasonable timeframe (e.g., 8–12 weeks).

Target Audience
●​ Primary Users: Individuals aged 16–35 who enjoy online communities, social media, and
discussion platforms (e.g., students, hobbyists, professionals).
●​ Secondary Users: Moderators or community leaders interested in managing topic-specific
groups.
●​ Browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge (latest versions).

Core Features
1.​ User Accounts:
○​ Signup and login using email/password or social OAuth (e.g., Google).
○​ User profiles displaying posts and comments.
2.​ Posts:
○​ Create text posts or share links with titles.
○​ Edit or delete own posts.
3.​ Comments:
○​ Add comments to posts, with support for replies (nested comments).
4.​ Voting System:
○​ Upvote or downvote posts and comments to rank content.
5.​ Subreddits:
○​ Create and join topic-specific groups (e.g., "Technology," "Gaming").
○​ Browse posts within specific subreddits.
6.​ Home Feed:
○​ Display a feed of popular or recent posts across all subreddits.
7.​ Search:
○​ Search posts and subreddits by keywords.

Scope
●​ In Scope:
○​ Basic user authentication, content creation, voting, and subreddit functionality.
○​ Responsive design for desktop and mobile web browsers.
○​ Simple backend to store and retrieve data.
●​ Out of Scope (MVP):
○​ Advanced moderation tools (e.g., banning users, post flagging).
○​ Media uploads (e.g., images, videos) beyond links.
○​ Real-time chat or messaging features.

Platform
●​ Type: Web application.
●​ Access: Hosted on a cloud server (e.g., Vercel, Heroku) and accessible via URL (e.g.,
[Link]).
●​ Compatibility: Designed for modern web browsers (desktop and mobile).

Development Approach
●​ Methodology: Iterative development with an MVP focus.
●​ Tech Stack (Tentative):
○​ Frontend: [Link] for dynamic UI.
○​ Backend: [Link] with Express for API handling.
○​ Database: MongoDB for flexible, document-based storage.
○​ Hosting: Vercel or similar for easy deployment.
●​ Timeline: Approximately 8–12 weeks for MVP (to be detailed in Development Plan).
●​ Team: Solo developer or small team (adjust as needed).

Success Criteria
●​ Users can sign up, create a post, comment, and vote within 5 minutes of accessing the app.
●​ The app loads and displays a feed of 50 posts in under 2 seconds.
●​ At least 90% of core features work without critical bugs upon launch.
●​ Positive feedback from initial testers (e.g., friends or beta users).
