Deadline-Duo

Description: Deadline-Duo is an Express.js web application designed to help users efficiently manage their deadlines, tasks, and study notes. The application follows the MVC (Model-View-Controller) pattern, providing a structured architecture for scalability and maintainability. MongoDB serves as the backend database for storing and retrieving data.

Features:

1. Deadline Tracking:

   • Users can store and manage their deadlines with ease.
   • The color of the deadline card dynamically changes based on its proximity to the deadline, providing visual cues for urgency.

2. Task Page:

   • A dedicated section for managing tasks, allowing users to keep track of their ongoing and upcoming tasks.

3. Study Notes and Questions:

   • Users can store study notes and questions, creating a centralized location for academic materials.

Database:

• MongoDB:
  • The application utilizes MongoDB as its backend database to store and retrieve user data efficiently.
  • Make sure to configure your MongoDB connection details in the appropriate configuration files.

MVC Pattern: The project adheres to the MVC architectural pattern, which separates concerns into three main components:

• Model:

  • Using Mongoose as ORM manages the data structure and logic behind deadlines, tasks, and study notes, interacting with the MongoDB database.

• View:

  • Embedded Javascript Syntax handles the presentation and visualization of the data, ensuring a user-friendly interface.

• Controller:

  • Bridges the gap between the Model and the View, handling user input, processing data, and updating the Model and View accordingly.
