How to contribute and collaborate on Thinkster?

[yaten2302]

Hi @geromegrignon @mvila, I'm Yaten, I want to contribute to the existing repos that are currently being developed. Could you please guide that are we allowed to collaborate with others and work on a single project? Also, like what kind of projects are accepted? Like in the discussions, I saw that Announce your work in progress implementation here, could you please explain something about this🙏🏼
Also, is there some discord channel or slack for Thinkster, where we can discuss and collaborate with others?

Hi @yaten2302, I'll provide you a complete answer in a few days as being busy right now.
While @TaiTaiTai777 message might be useful, it's unrelated directly to this project (and more likely AI generated).

[yaten2302]

Sure, no issues. Feel free to answer whenever you are free👍

Hi @yaten2302,

Sorry for the extended delay. Currently we do not provide help about collaboration on wip implementations. There were attempts but most projects are created and implemented by one person. The Announce your work in progress implementation here is our most simplest way to know if projects are ongoing and the easiest solution for you to contact someone.

However, mind a lot of projects listed there are never finished. If you are interested in helping, contact the maintainer directly to propose your help.

We do not have Discord/Slack, the Discussions feature being the perfect fit as we do not have that much traffic.

About projects accepted, they must follow the specs from your documentation: https://www.realworld.how/docs/implementation-creation/expectations
We don't accept duplicate projects or small derivations from an existing accepted implementation. Feel free to ask questions if you have any doubt.

Hey! @geromegrignon, thanks for your response 👍. Actually, I've a doubt, that what kind of projects are accepted here? Like, I saw a repo of a full stack medium clone with - React, Angular... So, like we've to create only medium clones with different tech stack or it's different?

[geromegrignon]

Yes, that's exactly about Medium clones.
