🌍 Quote.Vote | An Open-Source Public Square for Respectful Dialogue (Hacktoberfest 2025)

Hello everyone 👋

This Hacktoberfest, We’d like to introduce Quote.Vote the nonprofit, open-source platform for text-based dialogue. It’s designed as civic infrastructure to serve as a public square where people can quote, vote, respond, and deliberate respectfully with no ads and no algorithms.

⚙️ Tech Stack: React/Next.js frontend, GraphQL API, and a MongoDB backend. Made to be approachable for anyone familiar with modern JavaScript frameworks.

We’ve prepared a roadmap on GitHub with good first issues to make onboarding smooth for contributors of all levels. Whether you enjoy frontend, backend, or documentation, you’ll find clear entry points to get started.
