The School Task Manager is designed to assist students in effectively managing their academic tasks. By using this web application, students can organize, track, and meet deadlines for their school assignments and projects, ensuring they never miss a due date.
MongoDB Database: The backend of the School Task Manager utilizes MongoDB to store user data, tasks, courses, and deadlines efficiently. This setup allows for high performance and scalability, which is ideal for handling multiple user requests simultaneously.
Web Application: The integrated web app(included both front&back end) is built with modern web technologies, providing a clean and user-friendly interface for students to interact with their task lists. Features include adding new tasks, setting deadlines, categorizing tasks by course or date, and getting notifications for upcoming due dates.
