The project:
I am working on an exciting project that I think you may be interested in. It is an online marketplace, similar to the US farmers and livestock markets, but with a strong online focus. The project is going to be redone from 0 I have a very detailed backlog . Contributing to this real-world project will allow you to learn a lot while working with modern and relevant technologies.
Technologies:
We are using Python and Django for the backend, and Next.js for the frontend.
Why collaborate.
Learn and grow: The project is well organized, providing the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies.
Impactful contribution: Your work will directly influence the success of the project.
Community involvement: Join our passionate team committed to project excellence.
How can you participate?
I keep the repository private to avoid unnecessary distractions. Here's the link to the GitHub repository:
https://github.com/Programacionpuntera/Marketplace-again. To add you, I will need your GitHub username. Also, I have created a WhatsApp group for the project. The more participants, the faster we will complete it! Feel free to share your phone number and I'll add you to the group. And just so you know exactly what I'm going to work on, I'm going to pass the entire backlog:
