Discord Bot

We're building a platform that inspires people to build cool software project ideas that will follow the Dev Launchers ethos website. This platform will be able to take in ideas from members of Dev Launchers, display these ideas for other users to interact with, and finally allow members to adopt others' ideas. 

Often people have ideas that they do not have the bandwidth to address. These ideas will be further fleshed out by engaging members of the community. With our idea hub, we can brainstorm better, interact with other members' dream software projects, and build more together!

Did you know that all people in the world are six or fewer social connections away from each other? 

We are aiming to design and implement a social networking web-based system which connects members to communicate thoughts, share context and manage projects in one place across different Dev platforms.

Your creative side will also shine as you will be creating functional and visual components and prototypes that our users will interact with DAILY!
