Abstract
This report presents ProgNet, a mobile-first academic social networking platform
developed to meet the specific communication and collaboration needs of Algerian
university communities. ProgNet addresses the limitations of relying on general-purpose
platforms such as Facebook for academic interaction by offering a secure, role-based, and
university-controlled environment. The system enables students, teachers, to create and
manage profiles, share educational content, publish department news, organize events, enroll
in classes, and engage in direct communication. Built using modern web and mobile
technologies, ProgNet integrates third-party services like Supabase for media management and
Firebase for real-time notifications. This technical report documents the full development
lifecycle of ProgNet, starting from functional analysis and security requirements definition,
through architectural design using C4 and UML models, until system implementation and
deployment. The system relies on a flexible backend architecture and an interactive mobile app
built with Flutter, ensuring a seamless and efficient user experience.
