StudySwap

Overview

StudySwap aims to revolutionize education by providing a space where students can find the help they need and contribute to the platform’s growth through a model that rewards active participants. The platform operates on an internal credit system that rewards users for uploading notes or leaving reviews.

This app was developed for the 2025 edition of “Premio GFMarilli” by Hackersgen.
