AI-Driven Personalized Learning Paths
Build an AI engine that analyzes a user's GitHub profile and skill gaps to generate custom, interactive learning roadmaps with real-time progress tracking.
Project Goals:
- Implement Gemini/OpenAI integration for dynamic roadmap generation
- Build a persistent progress tracker with MongoDB
- Develop an interactive 'Roadmap-as-a-Service' UI component
Real-time Collaborative Code Lab
A 'Google Docs for Developers'—build a browser-based IDE where users can pair-program in real-time, share terminal outputs, and debug code together.
Project Goals:
- Implement CRDTs or Operational Transformation for conflict-free sync
- Integrate a sandboxed execution environment (Docker/Piston API)
- Develop a 'Live Mentor' request system with shared sessions
Open Source Contributor & Impact Dashboard
Visualize the global impact of CodeHarborHub. This dashboard will track contributor streaks, project health metrics, and automate 'Top Contributor' awards.
Project Goals:
- Fetch and normalize real-time data using GitHub GraphQL API
- Create interactive heatmaps for contribution activity
- Automate Discord/Twitter announcements for merged PR milestones
CodeHarborHub CLI & Dev-Toolkit
Develop a unified command-line interface (CLI) to help contributors bootstrap projects, check for best practices, and submit issues directly from their terminal.
Project Goals:
- Build a project scaffolding engine for CodeHarborHub templates
- Integrate local 'Good First Issue' finder via GitHub API
- Implement automated code-quality checks before PR submission
Interactive Open Source Playground
Create an in-browser development environment that allows new contributors to run CodeHarborHub projects without cloning repositories locally.
Project Goals:
- Utilize StackBlitz WebContainers to run Node.js in the browser
- Build a side-by-side tutorial and editor layout
- Implement a 'One-click PR' feature from the browser sandbox
Documentation-as-Code (DaC) Engine
Automate the generation of technical documentation by extracting comments and architecture patterns directly from the codebase into Docusaurus pages.
Project Goals:
- Develop a parser to convert JSDoc/Docstrings to Docusaurus MDX
- Create a visual 'Architecture Map' generator for our repositories
- Implement automated broken link and grammar checks in CI/CD
