Open Source Core Contributor (Frontend / Backend / Systems)

About the Project We are building a gamified competitive ecosystem where students develop daily discipline to prepare for technical placements. The concept combines the engagement of Duolingo, the competitive strategy of Clash of Clans, and the skill-building depth of LeetCode, but tailored specifically for engineering growth and placement preparation. This is not a short-term college project. The goal is to build a long-term SaaS platform where the freemium core remains open source while the premium layer stays private. The concept has already shown traction with more than 120 active daily users. What We Are Building The platform is designed for long-term engagement with a retention horizon of one to two years. The core experience focuses on consistent progress, competition, and structured growth. 🔹 Streak and accountability systems 🔹 Squad-based competition and weekly wars 🔹 Ranked leagues with monthly seasons 🔹 Real-time progression mechanics Tech Stack The platform is designed with scalability and cross-platform delivery in mind. 🔹 Frontend: Flutter (Android, iOS, Web, Desktop) 🔹 Backend: Supabase, PostgreSQL, Realtime services 🔹 Infrastructure: Edge Functions and event-driven systems 🔹 Desktop distribution: Tauri wrapper Contribution Areas We are looking for developers who think in terms of systems, scalability, and architecture rather than just implementing isolated features. System Architecture Engineers Focus on designing the core mechanics that drive the platform. 🔹 XP progression systems and XP curves 🔹 League ranking algorithms 🔹 Season reset pipelines 🔹 Squad war scoring systems Backend Engineers Focus on reliability, performance, and data integrity. 🔹 Supabase schema design 🔹 Mission completion pipelines 🔹 Streak tracking systems and event triggers 🔹 Leaderboard optimization Flutter Engineers Focus on creating a smooth and engaging user experience. 🔹 Interactive dashboards and mission interfaces 🔹 Squad systems and ranking screens 🔹 Real-time updates and animations Game Economy Designers Focus on retention and progression balance. 🔹 Designing and balancing XP curves 🔹 Coin rewards and incentive structures 🔹 Progression pacing and season rewards DevOps and Infrastructure Engineers Focus on platform reliability and operational scalability. 🔹 Automating season reset pipelines 🔹 Scaling realtime subscriptions 🔹 Leaderboard caching strategies Why Contribute 🔹 Real Impact: Build a platform that helps thousands of students improve their careers. 🔹 Recognition: Public contributor credits and visibility into real system architecture. 🔹 Learning: Work on complex engineering challenges including gamification systems, realtime infrastructure, and scalable backend design. 🔹 Community: Collaborate with developers who enjoy discussing architecture and solving meaningful engineering problems. How to Apply or Get Started If you enjoy solving real engineering problems and want to build something unconventional, this project is open to contributors who want to create systems that matter.
