gratitude to my project guide and Dean, School of Engineering and IT, Dr. Arvind Kumar Pandey
who has guided me a lot throughout my project development. Without him, I think I could not have
finished the project on time. In addition, while I met some logic problem or design problem, he was
always the one who gave me useful and logical answers.
I would like to thank Akash Bhagat for one more time for sharing his experience with me so that I
could get more logical understanding on how to develop chat application which is suitable for
current society.
Finally, I want to thank to all my friends and teachers, who helped and co-operated with me directly
or indirectly in the accomplishment of this project.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 OVERVIEW
This project focuses on the development of a comprehensive social media application where
you can freely talk with your friends, family, and other fellow mates privately and
comprehensively. Here, you will get full-proof privacy and trust from the application side
that all your data and chats will remain private within the application only. We aim to build
this on the Web 3.0 framework, where users have major control over their data. This is a
place where you can explore global happenings. It is the best place to connect with your
friends and family.
1.2 OBJECTIVE
The objective of the application is to bring your family and friends to a platform where you can
talk and share private & personal chats. Key features include:
Infinite scroll on the Explore page to browse many posts.
Hassle-free user experience due to an intuitive interface.
Strong focus on user data privacy and security.
Core features of a social media application: Login, Create Account, Posts, Explore,
Chats, View Profile, Save, Edit, and Delete options.

REQUIREMENTS AND ANALYSIS
2.1 Software Requirement Specification
The Software Requirement Specification outlines the complete behaviour and functionalities of
the system. It defines both functional and non-functional requirements, ensuring developers,
designers, and stakeholders have a mutual understanding of the system to be built.
Functional Requirements:
User authentication (Login/Register)
Create, edit, delete, save posts
View and interact with other users’ posts
Real-time chat functionality
User profile management
Admin capabilities (monitor and remove inappropriate content)
Non-Functional Requirements:
High performance and responsive UI
Secure data handling (encryption & session management)
Scalability to handle growing user base
User-friendly interface
2.2 Data Gathering
To identify the essential features and structure of the social media application, data gathering
was performed through:
User interviews with students and professionals
Questionnaires asking users what features they expect in a private social platform
Competitive analysis of apps like Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook to understand
common trends
Findings:
Users demand privacy-focused interaction
Emphasis on simplified design
Features like chat, media sharing, and customizable profiles are must-haves
2.3 Feasibility Study
Technical Feasibility: Using the MERN stack (MongoDB, ExpressJS, ReactJS, NodeJS) and
Appwrite backend ensures platform flexibility, scalability, and security.
Operational Feasibility: Users are familiar with modern social apps, so they will easily adapt. UI
will follow standard conventions for accessibility.
Economic Feasibility: Being an academic/freelance project, development cost is minimal. Open-
source tools and frameworks further reduce costs.
Schedule Feasibility: The estimated timeline for development is 2-3 months including design,
implementation, and testing.
