Another day, another project showcase!

Reminder: What is Chingu?

All self-direction learners run into the same fundamental problems. Endless tutorials, unsure if you’re making real progress, not enough finished projects, no easy way to gain team experience.
Chingu is a flexible & remote learning program for developers and aspiring developers who want to complete projects and gain experience. We provide deadlines, collaboration experiences, accountability tools, and a friendly community with shared goals.

Chingu is also the Korean word for friend (친구). 😉

Thanks to everyone who made this possible!

I want to give a big shout-out to every wonderful soul who contributed to Chingu during this Voyage— from the Welcoming Team to the hungry developers to the infamous Chingu-X team. And to everyone courageous enough to step out of their comfort zone and build with others!

This is no small feat.

Thousands of people from 70% of the planet’s countries have participated in Chingu in the last few years and we’ve collectively built hundreds of projects together (not to mention the unruly amount of friendships/levelups).

Are you ready to see some remote development projects?
