About

This application is a web-based platform designed to facilitate funding for public goods through a mechanism known as quadratic funding. Users can participate in various funding rounds, view projects seeking support, and make donations to these projects. The app leverages a serverless database to manage data related to rounds, projects, and donations. To use the app, users can navigate to the home page to view active funding rounds. Each round displays its title, description, start and end dates, and the size of the matching pool. Users can click on a round to see the projects associated with it. Each project page provides detailed information, including project descriptions, verification status, and donation statistics. Users can make donations directly from the project page, and the app will handle the donation process, including calculating matching allocations based on the quadratic funding model. The app is built using Next.js, a React framework that enables server-side rendering and static site generation. It utilizes TypeScript for type safety and improved developer experience. The user interface components are designed with a focus on usability and aesthetics, employing a card-based layout for displaying rounds and projects. The application also includes forms for making donations and calculating matching allocations, with real-time feedback on submission status. Key features of the app include: - A home page displaying active funding rounds with essential details. - Individual round pages that list projects and their descriptions. - Project pages that provide detailed information, including donation statistics and links to external resources like websites and GitHub repositories. - A donation form that allows users to contribute to projects, with real-time validation and feedback. - An admin interface for managing rounds and calculating matching allocations. - A seed data feature that populates the database with sample users, projects, and donations for demonstration purposes. Overall, this application serves as a comprehensive platform for supporting public goods through community-driven funding initiatives, utilizing modern web technologies to enhance user experience and engagement.
