Built with Python and React. Ran live with 289 students in a real university exam session. Features per-student anti-cheat randomization, real-time session coordination via Socket.IO, automated grading, and a PWA architecture that functions without internet access. ### Nadeef (نظيف) A non-profit gamified civic engagement PWA for crowdsourcing neighborhood cleanups across Algeria. Built with React, TypeScript, Supabase, and Vite. Features XP and badge gamification, real-time leaderboards, bilingual Arabic/English RTL support, a social layer with followers and notifications, a before/after photo verification system, push notifications via Deno Edge Functions, Workbox runtime caching for offline use, and a full admin moderation panel.

Anyone can open it, drop a pin on the world map, pick a status (working, studying, or living), and instantly appear on the map — no account, no email, no password. Fully trilingual (EN/FR/AR) with native RTL layout switching, installable as a PWA, and ships a real-time activity radar showing live pin drops from around the world. Also enforces a principled geographic policy: the IL polygon is omitted from the border layer and Israeli city coordinates are remapped to Palestinian city names. On the system design side, it is logless by architecture (zero GPS coordinates stored, zero IP logging, zero cookies, zero user rows in the database), uses HMAC-SHA256 signed JWTs for account-free pin ownership (server-issued, localStorage-stored, server-verified on mutation), implements server-side rate limiting on pin creation, caches GeoJSON borders module-level per session, runs a decoupled Supabase Realtime WebSocket pipeline through a Zustand buffer to prevent UI flooding, and manages a clean SSR/CSR split with Leaflet isolated behind an SSR guard. Built with React 19, TanStack Start, Tailwind CSS v4, Leaflet, Supabase Realtime, and Framer Motion. Deployed at [dz-finder.netlify.app](https://dz-finder.netlify.app). ### Maestro Immobilier and Wahran Stays A dual-platform real estate system.
