Application for Navigation in Student Organizations of the Higher School of Economics

The Higher School of Economics (HSE) has over a hundred student organizations that form an active and diverse extra-curricular life for the university. However, there is currently no centralized platform for sharing comprehensive and up-to-date information about these communities, which hinders the development of student organizations. This lack of information resources complicates the discovery of student groups and prevents new members from joining. To address this challenge, "Higher Search" was developed as a service that aims to facilitate access to HSE student groups and provide convenient tools for students searching for a suitable community, as well as organizers adding and updating group information. Designing such a platform involves a range of complex tasks, including creating a fast, reliable, and intuitive system that meets the needs of all users. This article will discuss the steps necessary for launching the project, from analyzing requirements and collecting metrics to catching errors.
