Private instructor-led LMS with token-based enrollment, role-based access control, and Google OAuth — built for focused learning.
— Overview
What it is
Most LMS platforms are marketplaces first and learning tools second. EduNest was built for a client who wanted the opposite — a focused, private environment where instructors control exactly who gets in. Token-based enrollment replaces the payment flow entirely, removing the need for payment infrastructure and keeping the experience clean for both instructors and students.
How I built it
The entire codebase is structured around the repository pattern, keeping business logic out of controllers and making the data layer swappable. Role-based access control is enforced at the middleware level so route protection is declarative rather than scattered through individual controllers. Google SSO was added to reduce signup friction without storing passwords.
