- Enrolled users are able to create topic, create comment, poll vote
- Enrolled users are able to modify/delete one's own topic, comment, vote
- API Server
- accepting incoming requests + delegating to Fabric
- maintaining DB, Scheduler
- Client side: Web (React) and Mobile Application (Flutter)
- Adding functional tests to web components
- Github Actions
- Adding CI, code coverage
- Automating release cycles via versioning
- Documentation with diagrams on GitHub
