This is what happens when self-directed learners come together to code!
The Chingu Winter project spotlight
Yes, we’re back at it with more remote developer teams stirring up a global collaboration fiesta!
Below is not only an awesome collection of projects, but even more than that it is an example of what is possible when self-directed learners from across the planet come together to build, help and learn together.
There were hundreds of people who participated in Chingu Voyage-3 from 70 countries.
This was an enormous undertaking not only from the members who joined forces with their team-mates to build, but also for tireless volunteers who helped make this opportunity possible for people across the world, regardless of their background, financial situation, age, etc.
Without the above people, none of this would be possible! THANK YOU!
Also, I’d like to give a big shout-out to everyone who persevered over whatever roadblocks came their way (like the holidays). Your determination is an inspiration!
Without further ado, the developer projects:
p.s. apologies in advance for any mistakes I’ve made (guaranteed to be some) with links, titles, etc. Please reach out and I’ll fix any mistakes! 🙏

You can create categories & individual items within categories and with Chrome Sync, you can access your budget by signing in to Google Chrome from any computer that supports extensions.
