Trending Topic Website Build
Budget: ₹12,500 – ₹37,500 INR
I’m building “Of the Moment,” a web-based service that surfaces what people are talking about right now and lets the community shape the conversation. The core of the project is simple: visitors should be able to add their own trending topics and see them rise or fall based on community interaction.
Scope in a nutshell
• Web-only: no native mobile or social-network app at this stage.
• User-generated content is the essential feature. Search, filters, or auto-refresh can wait until a later phase, so the first milestone should stay lean and focused.
• Clean, modern UI that highlights the current top discussions at a glance. Think lightweight and fast rather than packed with widgets.
Key deliverables
1. A responsive front-end (React, Vue, Svelte, or similar is fine) that lists trending topics in order of popularity/time.
2. Simple contribution flow: add topic, optional description, submit.
3. Basic interaction: vote up/down and comment thread per topic.
4. Authentication (email/OAuth) plus a minimal moderation dashboard to remove spam or flag abuse.
5. Deployment scripts or clear instructions so I can launch the site on a standard VPS or managed service.
Acceptance criteria
• Any logged-in user can post a topic and see it appear instantly on the main feed.
• Votes update the ranking on page refresh; real-time sockets are not mandatory for the first release.
• Admin panel hides or deletes a topic in one click.
• Code in a private repo, well-commented, with a short README explaining setup and environment variables.
If you have ideas for later enhancements—search filters, live updates, or analytics—feel free to note them, but the initial hand-off should nail the essentials above so we can ship quickly.
