Block Share - File Sharing System

Block Share is a decentralized file sharing system that has been developed in three phases to enhance functionality and reliability.

Project Phases

Phase 1: HTML, CSS, JavaScript Implementation

In the initial phase, we created the project using fundamental web technologies:

• HTML for structuring the content
• CSS for styling and layout
• JavaScript for interactive features

Phase 2: React, Node.js, MongoDB, Express.js, and REST API Integration

In the second phase, we elevated the project by incorporating modern technologies and frameworks:

• React.js for building a dynamic user interface
• Node.js and Express.js for server-side development
• MongoDB as the database for efficient data storage
• Integration of REST APIs to enhance communication between client and server
