Code Gems - A Community-Driven Platform to Share & Discover Amazing GitHub Projects

Hey DEV Community! ๐Ÿ‘‹

I'm excited to share Code Gems - a platform I built for developers to discover and share remarkable GitHub projects. But here's the twist: it's entirely community-driven!

๐ŸŽฏ The Vision

We all know that feeling when we stumble upon an incredible open-source project that makes our dev life easier. Code Gems aims to be the place where we can collectively share these discoveries.

๐ŸŒŸ How You Can Contribute

The platform is live, and we need YOUR input to make it truly valuable:

  1. Share Your Projects: Built something cool? Let the community know!
  2. Suggest Hidden Gems: Know about an amazing project that deserves more visibility?
  3. Submit Your Discoveries: Found tools that helped in your development journey?

Submit your suggestions through our Request page.

๐Ÿ” Current Features

  • Community-curated project collections
  • Search by name, description, or tags
  • Category-based browsing (AI, productivity, design, etc.)
  • Project bookmarking
  • Clean, intuitive interface

๐Ÿš€ Why Another Project Discovery Platform?

The key difference is the community-first approach. While there are other platforms that showcase GitHub projects, Code Gems is built around the idea that the best discoveries come from developers sharing their actual experiences and findings.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Tech Stack

The project is built with:

  • Next.js
  • Tailwind CSS
  • TypeScript

And yes, it's open source! Check out the repo: github.com/bebedi15/codegems

๐Ÿค Get Involved

There are many ways to contribute:

  • Share projects you love
  • Submit your own projects
  • Contribute to the codebase
  • Provide feedback and suggestions
  • Report bugs
  • Spread the word!

๐Ÿ”ฎ Future Plans

  • Enhanced search capabilities
  • User profiles
  • Project reviews and ratings
  • Weekly newsletters featuring top submissions
  • Discord Server with Community Votings for new Projects

๐ŸŽ Support the Project

If you find Code Gems useful, consider:

  1. โญ Starring the GitHub repo
  2. ๐Ÿ”„ Sharing it with your network
  3. โ˜• Buying me a coffee
