The project I'm about to delve into is a collaborative effort that wouldn't have been possible without the dedicated teamwork of fellow contributors. I'm excited to share about my project, which is a part of the TSoC (TimeChain Summer of Code). As you read on, you'll discover the journey we've embarked upon to create a platform that fosters collaboration, innovation, and rewards for those who contribute to the open-source landscape

About Project

• It's a platform where developers can browse projects, contribute code, and track their progress while earning Bitcoin rewards

• This Project aims to bridge the gap by providing a platform where open-source projects can integrate Bitcoin-based rewards for developers. Any user can put up bounties on non-solved issues to increase the reward since that issue resolution benefits them. This will help in attracting more and more developers and thus benefit the open-source projects that are important to the community.

• By giving Bitcoin rewards for open-source contributions, we empower developers, encourage teamwork, and fuel innovation in the community. This initiative supports a thriving ecosystem of collaborative coding and meaningful progress.

The Journey's Excitement

Embarking on this journey was brimming with excitement. The project's insights and its potential to support open-source developers while they contribute to the community made it truly captivating.

As our journey commenced, my team members and I exchanged introductions. Being relatively new to the world of web development, this collaboration marked my inaugural experience in team-oriented work. As an introvert, overcoming initial hesitations to engage, seek clarification on issues, and immerse myself in the team dynamic was a challenge. Yet, gradually, I found my place among them. Pioneering daily standup meetings became one such platform where work updates and progress were shared collaboratively.

However, encountering technical hurdles tied to the project's tech stacks posed a learning curve. With my familiarity limited, I navigated these challenges and gaps in my tech stack knowledge.

Challenges Encountered During Development

• One of the significant challenges I encountered during the development phase was the limitation of my familiarity with the project's tech stacks. To address this, I needed to take a pause from the project to dedicate time to learning these essential technologies.

• Another challenge emerged from the varying levels of activity among team members. Some became less engaged, while a few had to leave the project due to college exams and other commitments.

• The constraint of time also posed a substantial hurdle. Regrettably, due to time limitations, the project remains incomplete at this stage. Despite these challenges, the journey has been a valuable learning experience, underscoring the complexities and dynamics that can impact project development.

Anticipating the Future Involvement

Upon the conclusion of this program, my enthusiasm remains undiminished as I eagerly anticipate continuing my contributions to enhance and refine this project, making it even more compelling and appealing.
