Project Title:

List of the Slowest Internet Speeds by Coffee Shops

Project Overview:

This project is a user-driven application where coffee shop patrons can log, view, and compare internet speeds at various coffee shops. The goal is to create a lighthearted yet functional platform that helps users avoid locations with frustratingly slow Wi-Fi while humorously highlighting the struggles of finding good internet in public spaces.

Key Features:

1. User Authentication:

   • Allow users to sign up and log in to submit and view data.

2. Coffee Shop Database:

   • Users can add coffee shop locations with details such as name, address, and average internet speed.

3. Speed Logging:

   • Submit internet speed test results for specific coffee shops using metrics like download/upload speed and latency.

4. Leaderboards:

   • Show rankings of coffee shops with the slowest internet speeds globally, locally, or per user.

5. Search and Filters:

   • Search coffee shops by name or location and filter results based on Wi-Fi performance.

6. Fun Stats:

   • Generate amusing insights like "This coffee shop has slower internet than 80% of others in the area!"

Tech Stack:

Frontend:

• React with Vite for building the UI.
• TailwindCSS for styling.

Backend:

• Node.js with Express.js for server-side logic and APIs.
• MongoDB (via Mongoose) for database management.

Tools and Integrations:

• Speedtest API (or a similar tool) to capture real-time internet speed data.
• Postman for API testing.
• OAuth (optional) for user authentication.
• Docker (optional) for containerized deployment.

Why This Project:

This project was chosen because it’s a humorous take on a common frustration—poor coffee shop internet speeds. The concept is engaging, unique, and allows for practical learning and implementation of essential full-stack development skills, including:

1. API creation and deployment.
2. Database schema design and integration with Mongoose.
3. Frontend development with dynamic components for displaying user data.
4. Secure user authentication and session management.
