I began with the coding with my knowledge of <code>Python</code>, <code>HTML</code> and <code>CSS</code>. There were a few roadblocks to say. Well, more than a few (more than that!) but well, I could finally get a stable version with the basic functions up and running.</p> <p>I first hoisted my site locally and then moved on to a Render version to allow my friends to test for bugs and all. As of now, I have a basic framework to work upon and build my site. What is my final aim? Its a bit early to say that. I think I would want my site to have more of a social networking concept behind it, where people can meet and greet, post blogs, play Quidditch obviously and more features.</p> <p>Open Source, as a concept has always been appealing to me. Hence, I have posted my code in its entirety into GitHub and am looking for more developers, designers and planners to help and contribute into my code. I appreciate any and all help and my primary focus right now, is to build a community who shares my interests and is willing to devote time on this project.</p> <p>If this interests you, feel free to leave questions, gimme feedback, check out the <a href="https://github.com/rishitnanda/Quidditch" rel="noopener noreferrer">repo</a> and contribute!</p> webdev programming python potterhead
