Connects mothers at all stages of their journey - prenatal, postnatal, and aspiring mothers.

How we built it

We built MamaHub using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js), creating a robust and scalable platform. Our development process began with extensive user research and wireframing in Figma. We implemented a RESTful API with Node.js and Express.js, using MongoDB for data storage and Mongoose for object modeling. The frontend was developed with React.js. We integrated real-time features using getStream, implemented JWT for authentication, and incorporated various security measures.

Challenges we ran into

Developing a user-friendly interface that's accessible to tech-savvy and non-tech-savvy users alike.

Creating an inclusive platform that caters to diverse cultural backgrounds and parenting styles.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Developing a comprehensive content moderation system to ensure a safe community space.

What we learned

The importance of user-centered design in creating a platform for a diverse user base.

Strategies for building and managing online communities.

What's next for MamaHub

Developing a mobile app to complement our web platform.

Expanding our expert network to provide more specialized advice and support.

Introducing language support to make the platform accessible to non-English speaking mothers.
