HKJS Member Profiles

[bgever]

The Hong Kong JavaScript meetups are there to meet other fellow JavaScript developers. Every time lots of cool developers visit the meetup, but it can be hard to know what others do, work with, or are interested about in the wide variety of what the JavaScript landscape has to offer.

I would like to build a profile section on the Hong Kong JS website, where members can sign in their Meetup account through the Meetup Auth API.

They can opt-in to create a profile, where it is possible to list technology tags for the categories:

1. Experience JavaScript frameworks, libraries and tools which the member is familiar with.
2. Interested JavaScript frameworks, libraries and tools which the member has an interest in, but isn't actively using at the moment.

Example:

Bart Verkoeijen Experience: AngularJS, TypeScript, Kendo UI Interested: Ionic 2, Angular 2

This allows other members to see what someone is using, or what they could talk about.

The website should have:

• A profiles page where all member profiles can be seen, as per the example above.
• A technologies page which shows all tags that have been created, and by clicking a tag, it then lists all the members that have this tag, either as Experience or as Interested.

In future iterations we could add more profile information and add more descriptions and information about the technology tags. And even leverage the Meetup messages API to allow members to contact each other.

The project can be built on top of the existing Ghost (nodejs) based website. To keep storage simple, we can use Firebase, and use AngularJS (1.5) to load the pages client-side.

For auth, Maybe Github API as well and/or even more geeky.. Blockstack API
