Build a Forum Discussion App

Discussion-based platforms like Reddit, Stack Overflow, and Quora have become central to modern online learning and problem-solving. Building a forum app teaches you how to manage user-generated content, threaded discussions, content moderation, upvoting logic, and search indexing in a structured, scalable way.

Users can create threads on specific topics, reply to other users, upvote/downvote responses, and follow categories or tags. The app also includes notification support, moderation tools, and trending discussions.

Users sign up, choose interests, and begin posting or replying within selected topics. Posts and replies are ordered by time or upvotes. Replies can be marked as accepted, and high-value contributors can earn community trust and badges.

• Users register and personalize their feed by following tags like #React, #Startup, #AI, etc.
• New threads are created with titles, content, and optional tags.
• Other users can reply, vote, or bookmark discussions for later.
• Upvotes and downvotes affect sorting in trending or relevant feeds.
• Admins and moderators review flagged content and handle abusive behavior.
