## Overview

UIU SOCIAL is a university community application for student and faculty accounts. Users browse and publish a social feed, discover people and manage connections, communicate, and participate in clubs, groups, and events; administrative endpoints cover account and community moderation. The sampled browser code loads feed data and submits posts through API endpoints, while sampled PHP endpoints authenticate requests and query the database. The README provides no further architectural detail, and most feature-specific frontend-to-API wiring is not sampled, so those links are omitted.

Main entry points: [`api/posts`](https://github.com/kawsaraleev/uiusocial-beta/tree/main/api/posts) (Posts and comments), [`config/helpers.php`](https://github.com/kawsaraleev/uiusocial-beta/blob/main/config/helpers.php) (Session and helpers), [`config/database.php`](https://github.com/kawsaraleev/uiusocial-beta/blob/main/config/database.php) (Application database), [`js/main.js`](https://github.com/kawsaraleev/uiusocial-beta/blob/main/js/main.js) (Main application)
