VITBOOK

More than just a social media platform

Introduction

VITBOOK is a social media platform which is developed for the students of the Vellore Institute of Technology. This platform is developed with a motive of connecting Vitians of different background and providing them a platform to discuss their ideas and thoughts.

It comes with all the features of a social media platform like :

• Welcome Page
• Login/Registration System
• Personal Profile
• Developing Connections
• Uploading Posts
• Explore Section
• Home Page
• Editing personal Profile, etc.

Besides being just a regular social media platform, it comes with many other added features, like:

• Just like GitHub, developers can upload and showcase their code and work together on the platform.
• A forum, to address important issues and problems.
• An announcements page, where all the important notices regarding the proceeding of the University will be displayed.

Vitbook builds technologies and services that enable students to connect with each other.
