This is a submission for the GitHub Finish-Up-A-Thon Challenge

What I Built

CampusBeat 2.0 — a React Native campus super-app for students across 17 colleges in Odisha, India.

It started in 2023 as a simple notice board aggregator: scrape college websites so students didn't have to visit them. It worked. Students used it. Then life happened, and it sat untouched on GitHub for three years.

This challenge gave me the push to finally open that repo again. What I found was equal parts embarrassing and educational.
