mongo-models VS BioDrop

I've used mongo-models in the past for simple projects where mongoose was overkill. It worked pretty well for my use case but it doesn't seem to have much activity anymore.

Each of the application servers connect to the same MongoDB instance, and they all use models (from this package) to define the structure of data within the database. Each application has some unique collections in the db, but there are also some collections utilised by the all applications, such as a `user` collection.

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.
