How kotnalasanskriti/echo works

ECHO is a platform for innovators and investors to develop and share ideas, discover one another, build connections, and message. The main backend workflow enters through authenticated API routes and reaches controllers that manage profiles, ideas, analysis, connections, and conversations. Innovator and investor interface modules are also present, but their runtime calls are not shown in the excerpts; those capabilities are represented without inferred links. The source index supports several backend dependencies; unsampled route and controller details are not expanded.

Main entry points: server.js API Server · authMiddleware.js Authentication · ideaRoutes.js Idea Routes · messageController.js Conversations and Messages
