Background
While thinking for ideas, we noticed that few open-source projects made in the past by us and everyone have one difficulty, and that is to find collaborators for the project. Making people engage in the project. We decided to make this platform only for open-source projects which are non-paid work, or rather volunteering since we didn’t want to make this a work-finding platform. Then further, we realized that as contributors too it’s hard finding for great projects so we made that people can contribute to projects sorted by Difficulty and Languages and tools used in it.
How we built it
We used the well known MERN Stack for this project. We made use of Tailwind CSS due to it’s simplicity and great design for the frontend. We used MongoDB Atlas as solution for Database. Along the way, we learnt how to implement image upload feature in Cloudinary along with MongoDB Database.
- Frontend – React
- Backend – Nodejs
- Database – MongoDB Atlas
- Framework – Tailwind CSS
- Image Hosting – Cloudinary
