    sort of like this user secrets

  • Important note ⚡

    Note: accounts created on the website default to student role. To create admin role accounts use this application ,a 'sort of' internal Winform Application to be used Admins. It work hand-in-hand with the site

Some noticable improvements that could be made

  • This project may not have the best database design😁, so definatly start with Database Table Relationships (Foriegn Keys)
  • Add support Email verification/confirmation 📧✔ after signup (intergration with Identiy Framework
  • Notification system was kinda impletemented in give or take 3hrs to deadline🤧 so yeah😑😬 it uses Polling🥵, which is definently not the best or effient solution. Improvements to it may include replacing Polling with Websockets using SignalR
  • Removing Some redundant Interfaces
  • Add Role management (CRUD) interface to be used by admin
  • Add Teacher's portal (to manage upgrade marks for students)
