NoteNest: A Web-Based Platform for Sharing and Accessing Handwritten Academic Notes
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Computer Engineering
Abstract
In today's academic world, students often struggle to find good quality notes, especially handwritten ones that cover difficult topics in a simple way. This paper presents NoteNest, a web-based platform where students and teachers can upload and share handwritten notes in PDF format for free. The system uses React.js on the frontend and Node.js with Express.js on the backend. Notes are stored on Google Drive and metadata in MongoDB Atlas. Authentication is handled through Clerk. The platform includes trending notes, search and filter, like/unlike, bookmarks, report system with reasons, PDF preview, admin panel, and a guest access limit of 3 notes before requiring login.
