Designed and developed a feature-rich study management platform that combines AI-powered exam prep, drag-and-drop task planning, budget tracking, and collaborative study rooms into a single React-based web app for students.

One platform to organize classes, plan study sessions, track budgets, and prepare for exams
StuMate is a comprehensive student productivity web app built to consolidate the scattered tools students rely on daily. Instead of switching between calendar apps, budgeting spreadsheets, to-do lists, and quiz platforms, students get a unified dashboard that connects every part of their academic workflow — from class scheduling and task management to AI-powered exam preparation.
Ab Nahid Agency built StuMate as a full-stack React application with a Node.js/MongoDB backend and Firebase authentication — designed to feel intuitive on day one, scale with the student's workload, and add intelligent features like AI-generated quizzes and personalized study paths that generic tools don't offer.
Fragmented tools and zero integration across the student workflow
Students manage their academic lives across five or more disconnected apps — a calendar here, a budget tracker there, flashcards somewhere else. This fragmentation kills productivity and creates blind spots in how they spend their time and money.
- Tool fragmentationSeparate apps for scheduling, to-do lists, budgeting, and exam prep cause missed deadlines, duplicated effort, and constant context-switching.
- No intelligent study supportProductivity apps track tasks but don't help students study — no practice questions, personalized roadmaps, or focus measurement in one place.
- Poor mobile experienceDesktop-first tools leave tablet and phone users with clunky interfaces, broken layouts, and features that don't work on small screens.
- No social or collaborative layerStudying is often a group activity, yet most apps are single-player — no built-in study rooms, resource sharing, or peer discussion.
A React-powered study management app with AI, real-time data, and collaborative features
We built StuMate as a modular React application with a clean component architecture, TanStack Query for server state management, and a Node.js/Express API backed by MongoDB. Firebase handles authentication and user sessions, giving students a secure, persistent experience across devices.
The UX centers on a dashboard surfacing what students care about most — upcoming tasks, weekly study trends, expense breakdowns, and focus time — while every module (scheduler, planner, budget tracker, AI exam prep, study rooms) feeds data back into one unified productivity picture.
AI-Powered Exam Preparation
Integrated Google's Gemini Pro via Genkit to generate custom multiple-choice quizzes on any topic at adjustable difficulty levels. Students get instant practice tests with answers — turning passive task tracking into active learning.
Drag-and-Drop Kanban Study Planner
A visual task board with To Do, In Progress, and Done columns lets students organize study goals by subject, priority, and deadline. Drag-and-drop interaction makes replanning effortless as workloads shift.
Unified Dashboard with Data Visualization
Recharts-powered graphs display weekly study trends, expense radar charts, and monthly spending patterns. The dashboard consolidates every module's data into a single view, giving students a clear picture of their academic and financial health.
