Motivation

This was my first attempt at an open source project with multiple contributors all over the world. I even wrote an article about its initial release.

The idea was to make a website which developers could use to find conference talks on certain topics and to be able to check if an upcoming conference would offer talks that they had already seen.

Technologies

Some of the technologies used to make this project:

I used JSON files for the data so contributors could easily make pull requests. In hindsight I would never try this approach again, because it got really messy in the end. At the time I had no real experience with backend development, so this seemed like a good temporary solution to get the project going.

Project status

Unfortunately I was getting kind of burned out because of the development and maintenance of this project next to my full time job, so I had to stop working on it. This is why I had to halt development.
