Solve Stack

A fully functional Q&A web app with community-driven answers.

Overview

SolveStack is a modern Q&A platform inspired by Stack Overflow, rebuilt using the latest Next.js and MongoDB. Users can ask questions, vote, bookmark content, and earn badges, while an AI assistant (Grok AI) helps generate high-quality answers. Additional features include a location-based job board and a detailed admin panel with real-time charts.

The Challenge

Traditional Q&A sites often feel outdated, lack robust moderation tools, and make it difficult for newcomers to quickly find quality answers. The primary technical challenge was devising an optimal strategy for role-based access control and ban verification within middleware, alongside implementing a comprehensive reporting system.

The Solution

Designed scalable MongoDB schemas to model voting and badge systems. Implemented global fuzzy search and Grok AI integration with secured prompts and response streaming. The admin panel, powered by Recharts and Server Actions, enables streamlined community management.
