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, Bhopal. 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.
