Description

Add the Project Idea Submission and Voting System to DevDisplay can make it a hub for innovation and collaboration. This feature allows users to submit ideas, vote on their favorites, and actively participate in bringing top-voted ideas to life through collaborative development. Here's a detailed overview of the feature, enhanced with functionalities to ensure engagement and utility.


Feature Workflow Overview

  1. Idea Submission Window (First Week of Every Month):

    • Allow users to submit their project ideas within the first week of every month.
    • Display a countdown timer on the homepage indicating the time left to submit ideas.
    • Ideas are displayed publicly for voting immediately after submission.
  2. Voting Phase (Throughout the Month):

    • Users can like or upvote their favorite ideas to boost their ranking.
    • A "Trending Now" Section highlights the top-voted ideas dynamically.
  3. End-of-Month Selection (Final Week):

    • At the end of the month, the top 1 most-voted idea is selected for community implementation.
    • Recognize contributors with badges like "Innovator of the Month" for the selected idea.
  4. Community Collaboration (Next Month):

    • The selected idea is moved to a “Project Development Hub” where the community collaborates to implement it.
    • Users can join specific tasks like design, development, testing, or documentation.
