How being a little bit silly with your code can be a great way to get other people involved in open-source software. This can start with a ridiculous name!
Back when the MEAN stack was everything.
I thought I would make something with React on the front-end and Hapi on the back-end.
What do you call something that's Facebook in the front, and Walmart in the back?
Yacht-Rock - Mullet on a Boat
[Sails.js]
Tarzan - Mullet on the Amazon
[Amazon API Gateway]
Lumberjack - Mullet in the Forest [Trails.js]
Bounty-hunter - Mullet + Dog [Waterline/Dogwater]
Open-source software doesn't have to be so serious.
Developers are people; people like a little silliness.
Submitting a PR is a little less stressful in a comfortable environment.
If you're learning something, someone else is too. Build it, and they will come.
