Dev x Appwrite Hackathon: #1 Introduction

Overview of My Submission

Hi there! After a week-long deliberation, I'm entering the appwrite x dev hackathon.😁

What I'm building

I call the app DevSpace Forum. What's it about?

DevSpace Forum is an online community where you can get your tech-related questions answered via video conferencing (or sessions). You can also talk about the latest technology you're using in live video sessions.

Questions on DevSpace can be in the form of "how to's", "getting started", "introduction", "onboarding experience", etc.

I know what you're thinking. There's youtube! (and many others)

What's the difference?

On DevSpace, you can ask coding-related questions like on StackOverflow only that another user gets to provide an answer to your question in a live session.

That way, you get to ask follow-up questions during the live sessions.

DevSpace is about asking, sharing, networking, and learning.

You can also raise a question or tutorial too and let users in the community join your live sessions.

Finding loopholes in the idea already (or possibly have a contribution) do share.

Thanks 😁

How I will build it

I'll be using the opportunity to learn Tailwind CSS. I've always wanted to use it.

I'll be sharpening my React skills as well.

The inspiration

I've almost completed my React Course on Scrimba and ever since, I keep getting this urge to share my knowledge.

I could create a youtube channel for it but how about an app (a forum or community) that is specifically for learning and sharing (I thought to myself)

Fun fact: You can combine your youtube channel with DevSpace.

During every video session, the tutor (the person answering or sharing ideas) records the session and can upload it on his youtube channel.

S/he will also share the link to the record session so that members of the community could watch it at a later time.
