I recently finished and deployed my first full-stack web app. It’s a quiz platform where users can take quizzes, track performance, and manage questions through an admin panel.

The stack includes React, Node.js, MongoDB, and a bit of AI integration for generating questions.

It’s hosted on Render and still a work in progress, but fully functional. Would appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

Thanks for checking it out.
