IdeaNest
Project overview
IdeaNest is a student incubation platform designed to foster innovation and collaboration. Users can submit unique project ideas, which are first reviewed by admins for feasibility. Once approved, ideas can be developed into full-fledged projects with the help of mentors and even potential funding. The platform also allows other students to discover and join ongoing projects, encouraging community-driven innovation. The project includes intelligent features like AI-based feasibility analysis using Gemini API, real-time chat via Socket.io, and role-based access control. This promotes a supportive ecosystem for student creators and problem-solvers.
