Penn State Communities Index

The Penn State Communities Index is an unofficial initiative aimed at fostering community and connection among Penn State students. This lightweight and efficient project provides a centralized platform to discover and join various group chats (GCs) for different interests, classes, and communities within Penn State.

Features

• Dynamic Tag Filtering: Easily filter communities by tags like "Class of 2029," "Residence Halls," or "Recently Added."
• Search Functionality: Quickly search for communities by name, description, or tags.
• Responsive Design: Fully responsive layout optimized for both desktop and mobile devices.
• Lightweight Codebase: The entire project is less than 100kB, making it fast and efficient to load.
• Customizable Tags: Tags are dynamically generated and can be easily updated.
