This is the Elixir and Phoenix backend API for codecorps.org.

Code Corps is an open source platform for building and funding public software with massive social impact.

Our goals:

  • Connect people - Match developers and designers, project managers and marketers – any and every talent – to ambitious projects that need their help.
  • Provide support - Educate and train, develop and encourage people who build public software. Help projects be successful and people to do their best work.
  • Fund projects - Crowdfund ongoing work and keep funders engaged in projects and connected to the teams they're supporting.
  • Develop new tools - Help people collaborate on, organize, and even distribute their work. Listen closely to hear what needs built, and then build it.

How can I help?

We'd love to have you contribute to Code Corps directly!

Have questions? Need help? You can also always come 👋 hello in our Slack, where there are always a ton of us around to help you learn, debug, or just shoot the breeze.

We highlight everyone who's contributed to the Code Corps team page. If we've missed you for some reason, please open an issue in the Ember app!

Where should I help?

We recommend checking the latest milestones on GitHub to get a sense for our current priorities.

Of course, help with other areas is always welcome, so if the current milestones aren't your cup of tea, feel free to browse the issues.
