Abstract

The evolution of software development has always been tethered to community knowledge. This paper presents the development of DevHub, a community-driven forum tailored for developers and technical professionals. Utilizing the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js), the platform balances the engagement of modern social media with the technical rigor required for professional software collaboration. Key features include code syntax highlighting and reputation-based moderation. This study outlines the full development lifecycle, from system architecture design to performance evaluation, proving that developer-specific environments are essential for high-level technical exchange.
