• User Contributions: Simple interface for posting personal experiences and initiatives
• Engagement Tools: Like functionality to highlight valuable contributions
• Responsive Design: Mobile-friendly interface that works across devices

Each SDG page can be customized by editing the corresponding HTML file in the goals/ directory:

<!-- Change the goal title and description -->
<h2 class="goal-title">Goal 2: Zero Hunger</h2>
<p class="goal-description">End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.</p>

The platform's appearance can be customized by modifying the CSS in the css/styles.css file:

/* Change the primary color for a specific goal */
.goal-2 .goal-title {
    color: #d3a029; /* Custom color for Goal 2 */
}

The core functionality can be extended by modifying the JavaScript in js/main.js:

// Example: Add comment functionality to posts
function addComment(postId, commentText) {
    // Implementation details
}
