DEV Weekend Challenge: Generosity Edition Submission 💜

This is a submission for Weekend Challenge: Generosity Edition

What I Built

As developers, we hardly get to acknowledge the efforts of the maintainers of open source communities. I intend to support these developers by creating a git agnostic platform, which analyzes your github profile and gives you suggestions based on the open source projects you've benefitted from.

P.S. For the hackathon, the idea is limited to only github profiles being analyzed.

How I Built It

I've used the default MERN setup without the M, since the application is stateless. Users can connect to their wallets and transfer SOL based on the open source repository suggestions made to the user for contributions.

Technically speaking, development in express and solana was relatively new to me. Therefore, I've faced many challenges including but not limited to deployment, debugging workflows and the complete development in Anchor-framework. Thanks to the seamless documentation, I was able to get the basics without much efforts

Prize Categories

Best use of solana: Using the accounts and transactions for donating to open source projects with a public reciept available to everyone, could also be extended to gamifying the donations.

P.S. Due to death of time, i wasn't able to create transactions which can also record proof of contributing code instead of SOL.
