BORO.U Academic Support App

BORO.U is an abbreviation for "borrow you", but it also has a connotation of the Japanese word boro(ぼろ). Boro or Boroboro(ぼろぼろ) is a Japanese fabric art technique that re-woven multiples fabric to create layered material that can be used for warm, practical clothing.

I think the idea of ​​gathering small pieces of fabric and stitching them together into a large sheet is in line with our aim to bring society together. People are like those pieces of clothes that each of them may have different imperfections, but when they are combined, they create incredible value and benefits.

To prevent the community from being opinionated while also making sure that we allow freedom of speech. We created two systems called Information Reliability Ranking System by People and Program; or IRPs in short.

  1. IRPeople allows users to upvote any comments they find useful, and the comments with the most upvotes will be pinned at the top of the forum.

  2. IRProgram will directly pin any comments that provide a backup information that can be found within the WCL library.  Any comments with backup resources will have a document tick icon at the top corner of their comments.
