Aprender Libras: uma plataforma para estudar Libras online

Abstract

This work shows the development of an application that aims to unite people who want to learn or improve the Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) with fluent people, enabling the scheduling of classes, which will take place through videoconferences within the application. The project was developed using Typescript, and in relation to the back-end and fron-end, NodeJS and ReactJS were used respectively. To control and manipulate the data, PostsgreSQL was used and an environment was created using Docker to execute the application. In addition, for email tests in development, the Mailtrap tool was used and for videoconferencing, Socket.io was used for Peer-to-Peer connections. The development of this application aims to increase the inclusion of deaf people in society, enabling them to interact with other people in their own language, whether teaching or just talking in Libras.
