Invitation to join open-source project.

Question

Hi would you be interested in joining an exclusive chat group here at Sololearn of highly motivated sololearners working on an open-source project?

If yes, would love to hear from you here or in my DM if you prefer.

We have been talking with some amazing sololearners from a long time about this project.
This a great opportunity to build a portfolio and see how professional software development happens. Please note, you don't have to be an expert to be a member as we all start somewhere but we prefer active contributors who can help with any way possible be it documentation, product design, promotion.

Project is likhaa.com

A browser based web application built using HTML, CSS and Javascript/TS
I have curated a product roadmap for next 6 months and would love to see if we can even achieve it.

There's nothing to lose but only to learn.

About myself,

Longtime sololearner from the early days of Sololearn.
Worked with small startups to large enterprise companies.
Love Javascript!

Answer 2

Sounds interesting, I'd like to join, but I am not sure how active I could be, since I also got my job

Checked the app, it looks great and feels smooth, nice!
(the screen width resize having the pen and cursor not be on the same point bug tho 😭)

And the infinitely scalable pen with ctrl scroll is like a black hole xd

Answer 3

Adams Burns actually this type of discussion should be in a post thread as q&a discussion threads are actually for code related issues and Sololearn concerns and issues.

Answer 4

A͢J great to hear from you. 🙂

We have been discussing on this opensource project from some time across multiple chat groups on sololearn and was waiting for a decent size contributors group.

Glad to say, now we have many active sololearners supporting this initiative.
We have multiple mentors in the group.

I shared this idea with John Wells sir.
We also have his blessings on this.
Side note: John wells Sir was going through a tough time recently and now slowly getting back on his good health. Please give him all our support 🙏 and well wishes.

Hood♠️👨🏿‍💻 was the first person to come up with this opensource idea for sololearners.

Answer 5

John Wells Sir Get well soon you are true inspiration we are with you god bless you 🙏

Morpheus Sir I would love to join of course I am not sure about being active or contribution but I will try as much as possible.

Answer 6

Frontend is not really my cup of tea, but I would still love to join, even if just as casual observer first.

Answer 7

Morpheus you know you have my support ✔️ Looks like a project similar to the one I've already done ..

Answer 8

BroFar you're the Rockstar of this community.
😄

Would be glad to have you on this.

The features of https://likhaa.com can be tested on the site. There's a
- detailed strokes data structure to store designs,
- undo / redo stack implementation
- image drag an drop feature

But you know the basic essence of this tool can be implemented by just few lines of Javascript code as shown below

Answer 9

Here is the complete guideline how to fork the project and clone into your local computer. Complete the task and then add the modification file to the repo and request a merge request to the original project. If you facing any problem feel free to ask. The issues can be debugged! Enjoy and Happy Coding ✌️

Answer 10

Morpheus I am interested, what are the steps to join the group ?

Answer 11

Patel Adnan Please, this thread is for Open source project invitation, not for asking questions.

You can use AI through prompt. There are lots of types of AI, depends on which one you choose. Better you can Google and get a more specific detail on that.

Answer 12

🍇 Alex Tușinean 💜 you're one of the most active members here and helped a lot of sololearners. I am adding you to the group and you know it would be great to get even your feedbacks if not active contributions on the project.
please feel free to leave anytime 😊.

The goal here is to see how far we can take this opensource project.

One major theme here will be to experiment with latest browser offerings and not to use any other frontend libraries. We can build our own libraries for sure.
I feel, this creates a nice learning opportunity.

Answer 13

Tibor Santa It's always nice to receive a positive support from a fellow mentor in any ways possible. 🙏

It would be great to have your feedback on the product experience and the product roadmap as well. Please recommend changes as you will and take lead on initiatives if your schedule allows.

There's a great opportunity to incorporate shape detection AI feature on the editor. I have it in the product roadmap as well. I was thinking of doing it from scratch using JS, that might be interesting. There's a very nice free code camp tutorial on this. This project would be a perfect opportunity to implement that AI feature.

Answer 14

Morpheus now you piqued my interest for sure! 😆
I need to see that roadmap!

Answer 15

My dream is about to come true , thank you Morpheus ...

Answer 16

Great idea Hood♠️👨🏿‍💻 and thanks for step ahead Morpheus SIR. Will learn a lot of things for sure 😊

Answer 17

I would love to work on an open-source project with members of the Sololearn community. In any capacity.

Answer 18

Morpheus The link may not be clickable on the app (for me, it is not clickable on Android).

Answer 19

That's why I think this project is such an amazing candidate for building a powerful whiteboarding solution because the fundamentals of this tool are so simple.

Just a bunch of dots on click/touch positions.
next join those dots to create regular line
next create a data structure to store these lines as strokes

Just making sone final adjustments on the 6 months product roadmap sheet.
Will be sharing shortly.

Answer 20

Where are we doing this project?
