Capstone Connect is an online showcase for COMPSCI 399 Capstone projects. We have achieved this by creating a website which allows students to upload their own projects, as well as allowing them to comment on and like each others' projects. Project uploads include a project title, the team who built it, a brief description of the project in question, a space for a video demonstration, another text section which discusses the approach of the team that built the project, a space for a descriptive poster for the project, future plans section, as well as implementation of likes and comments.
We have also implemented a login system which allows for Admin, Student, and Vistor roles, each with different permissions. Students may upload projects, Admins may upload and delete projects, create and delete users, as well as set and get a verification code which is required to create a student account. Admins also have the capability to award specific projects with a People's Choice winner and runner up, as well as a Client Nominated winner and runner up. Obviously, there are also logout features for the page.

To run Capstone Connect, run the solution file (Capstone_Connect.sln) through Visual Studio and run the server via the play labeled "Capstone_Connect". The server should run locally on port 5000, where you can then access the various HTML files and their associated scripts. The URL for the home page will then be: https://localhost:5000/index.html. Alternatively, open the folder in Visual Studio code and type "dotnet watch" in the terminal.
