Welcome to Nesa Academy

April 7, 2023 by Samuel Torimiro

A question and answer platform, similar with Stack Overflow, but for economists: built with Python and JavaScript. The Tech Stack is as follows:

1. Django
2. Django REST framework
3. JavaScript
4. BootStrap5
5. Auth0

Here are the basic features.

Authentication

Nesa Academy authentication was built with Auth0 and it only allows social authentication with a Google account.

Question and Answer

All Questions

You can see all questions as well as filter by date, votes, and views.

You can also follow or unfollow question, if you're not the person that created the question.

You can also edit or delete question you posted.

However, since this web app mirrors Stack Overflow, you must therefore have certain level of reputation before you can edit/delete question and perform other actions. Checkout the help center to learn more.

Asking a Question

You can ask a question on Nesa Academy, and based on your reputation it can either be submitted as draft or published immediately.

A Single Question

Things start getting interesting when you view a single question, as you can see when it was asked, how many times it was viewed, and how many answers it has. You can also share, follow, upvote, and downvote a question. While if there are related questions, it will also be visible here.

Furthermore, you can answer a particular question just once, as well as upvote, downvote, edit, and delete the answer. You can also accept a particular answer if you deem it to be the most suitable for your particular question: a green check mark will be visible on accepted answers.

Search Question

You can also search for a particular question.

Users

You can see other users on the site, as well as view their profile.

Dashboard

Before you access your dashboard, at the top right corner you have access to your notification, dashboard and profile. Where you can edit or delete your profile.
