What I built

❓Problem: I was unhappy with the low quality tech content on famous websites like TutorialsPoint. We always come across some obsolete content, broken links, or bad practices on tech/programming websites but there's no way to fix that. It becomes the site owner's sole responsibility to keep everything up-to-date. At some point they stop caring about it because they just can't monitor each and every article/link/example on their massive websites.

✅Solution: I made TutsWiki, an open-source platform where people can add or improve the content which is peer-reviewed by the community, so that the resulting content is always of high quality.

❕Example: A CSV file that I used in my example program was broken. The original site which hosted the CSV file had updated the URL along with the CSV content. It was 3 years old content which I was not monitoring but thanks to a visitor who found out about it and raised a PR to fix it. Link to PR
