UzDev Community Platform

The problem

Uzbek developers lacked a high-quality, local place to publish, share code and find answers — knowledge was scattered across chats.

Approach

• Designed a content + community model around articles, code snippets and Q&A.
• Built a React front-end with an Express/PostgreSQL backend, optimized for fast local (TAS-IX) delivery.
• Added tagging, search and reputation to surface quality content.

Architecture

A Next.js front-end talks to an Express API over a thin REST layer; PostgreSQL holds users, posts and reactions with full-text search indexes. Content is cached at the edge and images are served through a CDN tuned for local (TAS-IX) delivery.

Challenges

• Keeping search fast as content grew without a dedicated search engine.
• Designing a reputation model that rewards quality over volume.
