Blue Note is a trusted note-sharing / note-exchange web app for Yonsei University students. It aims to fix the inefficiencies of anonymous P2P note trading, by turning accumulated notes each semester into a shared campus learning asset repository.
How it works:
- Users log in via Yonsei email verification to establish identity.
- Note providers upload notes and receive access incentives/permissions to view other notes.
- Note viewers can browse uploaded notes, organised with course-based categorisation for easier discovery.
- Quality is checked through like/dislike feedback, plus AI features: AI summarization (key points, difficulty, estimated study time, structured summary) and AI cross-validation (extract verifiable claims → gather evidence from academic/educational sources via web search → cross-check across multiple sources).
- Tech stack: React/Vite/Tailwind (front-end), Spring Boot with Presigned URLs + Caffeine local cache (back-end), and AI powered by OpenAI GPT-4o-mini and the Semantic Scholar API.
