BioDrop VS forem

I've started My Open Source Journey by Contributing to one of their Open Source project LinkFree (Currently Known as BioDrop) and the Community members Helped me in that process!

A few months later, Biodrop, another open-source project, followed the same implementation that we used in our project to enable the embedding of their cards on other websites.

As this kind of large repository includes both frontend and backend, understanding the codebase and setting it up locally was quite hard, and for some, I did not had the necessary infrastructure or software in the system by the time. But gitpod.io was really helpful here in setting up the few projects that are integrated with it. Gitpod is a cloud-based development platform. It provided a seamless and ready-to-code environment, ease the complexities of local setup. In this process, I made contributions to the Biodrop and freecodecamp.

I have also contributed to other open source projects, including EddieHub, Forem, and my own.

I follow a lot of projects from different backgrounds, like Kubernetes, Docker, Preevy my Livecycle etc. But I want to give a special mention to BioDrop from the EddieHub Community. It's an awesome project that helps you connect to your audience with a single link. I'm also a maintainer and focus more on the DevOps side of things.

LinkFree connects to your audience with a single link. It allows you to showcase the content you create and your projects in one place, making it easier for people to find, follow and subscribe.

They seem to develop some stuff like a linktree alternative and a first issue finder.

The journey of deploying an open-source software platform like forem can be complex and daunting, but with the right tools and services, it can also be remarkably rewarding. This article details my experience deploying Forem, the software behind the Dev.to, on Render.com, deploying Promptzone.com.

In the future, I think we will probs make this uniform with the others. I've logged this request here on GitHub... hmmm, maybe I should embed it here instead. 😉

I even opened a discussion, which got no responses so far (which I think existed somewhere else or I am the only one with this issue...).

Whether you're sharpening your JS skills, making PRs to your OSS repo of choice 😉, sprucing up your portfolio, or writing a new post here on DEV, we'd like to hear about it.

Do more documentation-related and code contributions to Forem's repository

This year again, I contributed to DEV with multiples ways, I've contributed very little to the repository, moderated the bad posts quite a bit, and welcomed newcomers to the platform. I feel that a place like this should always be so welcoming to users, so why shouldn't I?
