DersTakip – Study Time Tracking App

A full-stack study-time tracker for students, built entirely solo end to end — backend, frontend, database, and server deployment — and shipped to production on a VDS behind Nginx and Cloudflare.

Overview

Description (Markdown):

About the Project

DersTakip ("Study Tracker") is a mobile app that lets students log their daily study time, browse a paginated and sortable history of past sessions, and view their statistics as charts. I built the entire project solo, end to end — from the backend API and database design to the mobile UI and server deployment.

Key Features

  • JWT-based authentication (access + refresh tokens), BCrypt password hashing, stateless Spring Security
  • Register/login, add study sessions, paginated and sortable study history
  • Statistics charts (via fl_chart) with touch tooltips, broken down by Daily / Weekly / Monthly / Yearly
  • Centralized global exception handling with a consistent API error format
  • A logging service for user actions
  • Maintenance mode: an is-maintenance endpoint the backend can flip to put the app into a maintenance screen
  • Network connectivity awareness and light/dark theme support
  • Experimented with rate limiting via Bucket4j

Tech Stack

Backend: Java 17, Spring Boot 3.5, Spring Security, Spring Data JPA, PostgreSQL, JWT (jjwt), layered architecture (controller/service/repository with interface + impl separation)

Frontend: Flutter (Dart), GetX (state management, DI, routing), Dio, shared_preferences, fl_chart, connectivity_plus

DevOps / Deployment: Docker & Docker Compose (backend + PostgreSQL containers), Nginx reverse proxy on a VDS, end-to-end encryption via a Cloudflare Origin Certificate (Full Strict mode), environment-variable-based configuration

My Role

I handled every stage solo — requirements, database schema, backend API design, mobile UI, and production deployment to the server.
