StackOverflow Clone

A full-stack web application inspired by StackOverflow. This project was developed as part of a university assignment in collaboration with a colleague. It replicates core functionalities like question posting, answering, voting, and moderation. Our goal was not just to meet the academic requirements but to build a functional, well-structured project showcasing clean architecture and teamwork.
