Openwave

OpenWave is a web platform built with Next.js and TypeScript, designed to foster a more vibrant and collaborative open-source ecosystem. It addresses the common challenges faced by both project maintainers and potential contributors.

For Maintainers: OpenWave provides a streamlined process to submit and showcase their open-source projects. They can detail project goals, required skills, and contribution guidelines, making it easier to attract the right talent. A dedicated “My Projects” dashboard allows maintainers to manage their listings effectively.

For Contributors: Developers can easily discover projects through intuitive “Discover” and “Browse” sections. OpenWave aims to offer personalized “Recommendations” (potentially AI-driven) based on user skills and interests. Contributors can track their “Contributions” across different projects and view a consolidated list of “Projects” they are involved in.

Unique Value: OpenWave explores the integration of a “Rewards” system, offering a novel way to acknowledge and potentially compensate contributors for their valuable work, going beyond traditional contribution tracking.

Vision: The platform aims to become a central hub for open-source collaboration, simplifying project discovery, contribution tracking, and potentially introducing sustainable funding or reward models for the community.
