It Sounds Like A Fun and Dynamic Project

The document outlines a comprehensive plan for developing a web-based platform called 'Siglatrack', detailing the recommended technology stack for both front-end and back-end development. Key components include using React.js or Vue.js for the front-end, Node.js with Express.js for the back-end, and either MongoDB or PostgreSQL for the database. Additional suggestions for hosting, authentication, and future enhancements are also provided to ensure a robust and user-friendly platform.

It sounds like a fun and dynamic project!

Developing "Siglatrack" can involve several components, and I'll


break down suggestions for each part of your stack. Given your requirements, the platform will need to
handle real-time updates, a user-friendly interface, and a solid back-end to manage data. Here's a
recommended stack for building your web-based platform:

### 1. **Front-End**

- **Framework:** Use a modern JavaScript framework like **React.js** or **Vue.js**. They are
powerful, widely used, and have a vast ecosystem for building interactive user interfaces.

- **Styling:** Utilize a component-based CSS framework like **Tailwind CSS** or **Material-UI** for
consistent and responsive design.

- **State Management:** For managing data within the front end (e.g., standings, scores, schedules),
use **Redux** (React) or **Pinia** (Vue.js).

- **Real-Time Updates:** Implement **Socket.IO** to push real-time updates to the front-end, so


users can see live scores, event changes, and standings.

### 2. **Back-End**

- **Framework:** Use **Node.js** with **Express.js** for building a flexible and scalable back-end
API. It's JavaScript-based, making it easier to maintain if you’re using JavaScript/TypeScript across your
stack.

- **Real-Time Data:** Incorporate **Socket.IO** on the server side to enable real-time


communication for live event updates.

- **REST API:** Develop a RESTful API for CRUD operations (managing event data, schedules, scores,
etc.). Optionally, use **GraphQL** if you want more flexibility in querying data.

### 3. **Database**

- **SQL vs. NoSQL:**

- If your data has complex relationships (e.g., faculty, sports, scores), use a **relational database**
like **PostgreSQL** or **MySQL**.

- If you need a flexible schema (e.g., varied events and results), use a **NoSQL database** like
**MongoDB**.

- **ORM:** Use an Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) tool like **Sequelize** (for SQL databases) or
**Mongoose** (for MongoDB) to interact with the database easily from Node.js.

### 4. **Hosting & Deployment**


- **Web Hosting:** Use **Vercel** or **Netlify** for hosting the front-end. For the back-end,
**Heroku** or **Render** provides a seamless deployment environment.

- **Database Hosting:** Use a cloud database service like **MongoDB Atlas** for MongoDB or **AWS
RDS** for SQL databases.

- **Real-Time Service:** Use services like **Pusher** if you need managed real-time data handling,
but you can achieve this with **Socket.IO** hosted on your Node.js server.

### 5. **Authentication (Optional)**

- If you plan on allowing users to log in (e.g., admins to manage events), consider **Firebase
Authentication** or **Auth0** for a quick and secure solution.

### 6. **Additional Features**

- **Content Management:** Implement an admin dashboard using libraries like **React Admin** to
allow easy management of schedules, scores, and events.

- **Notifications:** Use **Web Push Notifications** for real-time updates about scores and schedules.

- **Maps Integration:** Utilize **Google Maps API** to display event venues if locations are part of
the schedule.

### 7. **Recommended Stack Summary**

- **Front-End:** React.js (with Tailwind CSS)

- **Back-End:** Node.js with Express.js, using Socket.IO for real-time updates.

- **Database:** MongoDB (via MongoDB Atlas) or PostgreSQL.

- **Hosting:** Vercel (front-end), Heroku (back-end), MongoDB Atlas (database).

- **Authentication:** Firebase Authentication or Auth0 (if needed).

### Next Steps

1. **Define Data Models:** Plan out the entities you need (faculties, events, scores, schedules) and their
relationships.

2. **Set Up Project Structure:** Start with creating the React front-end and Express back-end structure.
Set up the database and define REST endpoints.

3. **Implement Core Features:** Start with core features like event listings, live score tracking, and
schedule display.
4. **Add Real-Time Functionality:** Integrate Socket.IO for pushing real-time updates.

5. **Testing:** Test for edge cases like overlapping events, unexpected user input, and real-time update
handling.

### Tools to Consider

- **Version Control:** Use **Git** and host your repository on **GitHub** for collaborative
development.

- **Project Management:** Tools like **Trello** or **Jira** can help you track progress and manage
features.

### Future Enhancements

- **Mobile App:** Use **React Native** to build a mobile app for a more native experience.

- **Analytics:** Integrate tools like **Google Analytics** to gather insights on user interactions and
popular features.

By starting with this stack and breaking the project into manageable steps, you'll be able to build a
robust and user-friendly platform for the Siglakas event.

**a.** Would you like a sample project structure to get started with the front-end and back-end setup?

**b.** Do you want guidance on setting up real-time data updates using Socket.IO?
