Academia Mania

Academia Mania is the first attempt at a social media app specifically for academic use. I built this app for a class while completing my master's degree in computer science at Georgia Tech. While doing research I found that social media presence is lacking for higher education.

Steps to view and run app

1. Install latest stable lts version of Node.js
2. Go to your terminal and make sure npm and node are installed
   • npm -v
   • node -v
3. Using the terminal navigate to the project, e.g. cd path/to/academia-mania
4. Do npm install in the terminal make sure you are connected to the internet
5. Run npm start in the terminal
6. Go to your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000
   • note: this app was developed and tested using google chrome.

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:

npm start

Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.

npm test

Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.

npm run build

Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!
