Problem
The original repo is more than a generic image processing exercise. It is really a full upload, retrieval, and gallery workflow with backend persistence.
Project
PixelVault: Image Upload & Gallery Web App
Full-stack image upload and retrieval app with React frontend, Flask API, and MongoDB-backed image storage.
Approach
I renamed it to reflect the actual implementation: React client, Flask API, image handling routes, and MongoDB-backed storage/retrieval.
Result
The revised framing is clearer for recruiters because it describes the app as a product workflow instead of an overly broad course-project label.
Why I renamed it
The old title, "Image Processing Project (Python-Based)", was too vague and undersold what the repo actually does.
What the repo really shows
- React frontend for image interactions.
- Flask backend endpoints for upload and retrieval.
- Persistent data handling with MongoDB.
- A more product-like gallery app structure than a single algorithm demo.
Better framing
"PixelVault" makes the project easier to remember and aligns the name with the user-facing behavior in the codebase.
