How I Started My First Open Source

A little time back, I had this sudden motivation to work on a site where Potterheads like me could meet others and play our most favourite game - Quidditch. I began with the coding with my knowledge of Python, HTML and CSS. There were a few roadblocks to say. Well, more than a few (more than that!) but well, I could finally get a stable version with the basic functions up and running.

I first hoisted my site locally and then moved on to a Render version to allow my friends to test for bugs and all. As of now, I have a basic framework to work upon and build my site. What is my final aim? Its a bit early to say that. I think I would want my site to have more of a social networking concept behind it, where people can meet and greet, post blogs, play Quidditch obviously and more features.

Open Source, as a concept has always been appealing to me. Hence, I have posted my code in its entirety into GitHub and am looking for more developers, designers and planners to help and contribute into my code. I appreciate any and all help and my primary focus right now, is to build a community who shares my interests and is willing to devote time on this project.

If this interests you, feel free to leave questions, gimme feedback, check out the repo and contribute!
