Prome

More than a platform: a movement for free and accessible education

During my university years, I experienced firsthand the difficulties in organizing study sessions, finding classmates to discuss with, or simply obtaining reliable information about exams and professors.

Traditional social networks prove inadequate for these needs. Groups are dispersive, fragmented across different platforms, and limited to small circles of students. They completely lack specific search tools and the ability to filter content by course, university, or subject.

## The solution

Prome was born as a response to these shortcomings, offering a digital environment specifically designed for the needs of university students:

·Verifiable university profile

·Association with specific degree courses

·Advanced search tools by subject, university and professor

·Granular privacy controls and content visibility

## Virtual study rooms

Prome's study rooms represent a true collaborative learning space:

·Integrated audio chat and text messaging

·Session planning with predefined schedules

·Classification by subject, topic and difficulty level

·Public or private modes with access request system

·Peer rating and feedback system

## Structured Q&A

The question and answer system is designed to maximize learning efficiency:

·Ability to attach teaching materials (PDFs, images, diagrams)

·Specific tags for course, professor and exam syllabus

·Voting system for most helpful answers

·Customizable notifications for new content

## Technology serving education

Prome leverages a modern tech stack to ensure reliability and scalability:

·High-performance frontend with Next.js and TailwindCSS

·Real-time database with Firebase and MongoDB

·Secure communications with Twilio

·Serverless architecture to reduce operational costs

## Philosophy and values

Prome represents a stand against the commercialization of education:

I firmly believe that access to knowledge should be free and unrestricted. In an era when higher education becomes increasingly expensive and inaccessible, Prome stands as a concrete alternative to profit-driven logic.

The platform deliberately rejects models based on invasive advertising, data selling, or premium subscriptions that create disparities among students. All features are accessible for free, without compromises.

## Impact and future

Prome is not just a tool, but a statement of intent:

·Demonstrate that quality services can exist without exploiting users

·Promote a sustainable model of technology for social good

·Inspire other developers to create ethical solutions

·Help reduce the educational gap between students from different economic backgrounds

The project is constantly evolving, with the goal of expanding features while maintaining the founding principles of accessibility, transparency and respect for users.
