Hi DEV community! 👋

We are two high school students from Japan. Today, we are incredibly excited to share our passion project that we've been building and managing for months: Tsurukame Portal!

👉 Check out our live site: https://tsurukamezan.net

🌟 What is Tsurukame Portal?

It’s a full-stack web portal designed for students and tech enthusiasts. It combines daily tech/educational news summaries with interactive features like quizzes and our specialized academic section, SciCirc (Science & Math Circuit), where we break down complex subjects into digestible explanations.

🛠️ Our Tech Stack & Infrastructure

We didn't just use a simple website builder—we wanted to learn how real systems work.
Backend & Automation: We heavily utilized AI tools (like Claude and Gemini APIs) to help us automate server scripts and research tasks.
Hosting: Managed and deployed on Xserver, handling domain configurations, ads.txt, and search console optimization by ourselves.

We would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any advice on how we can improve our full-stack project or take it to the next level.

Thank you so much! 🐢🦅

💬 Join our official Discord Community!
We’ve also set up a Discord server where you can chat with us directly, give us feedback, or talk about web development, education, and tech. We'd love to connect with developers from all over the world!
