The "Quiz App" project aims to develop an interactive quiz platform that allows users to create, participate in, and share quizzes on various topics. Users will be able to sign up for accounts, create custom quizzes, take quizzes created by others, track their scores, and share results on social media. The app will also feature different quiz types (e.g., multiple choice, true/false) and categories to engage users. The app will be available on both web and mobile platforms, offering a seamless and fun quiz-taking experience.

Real-World Example
Imagine a user named John, a trivia enthusiast who enjoys testing his knowledge in various subjects. John signs up for the quiz app and takes a general knowledge quiz, where he answers 10 multiple-choice questions. He receives instant feedback on each question, and at the end of the quiz, he gets a score of 8/10, which he shares on his social media.
After browsing the available quizzes, John decides to create his own quiz on the history of space exploration. He creates 15 questions, assigns the quiz to the "Science" category, and shares it with his friends. A few days later, John checks the leaderboard to see how his quiz is performing and tracks his friends’ scores to see who did best.
