Summary
It would be very valuable to have a feature that allows users to follow public projects directly within Elemo.
-
For example:
- A company or organization could make their project progress publicly available.
- Users would then be able to observe development in real-time, including updates, milestones, and contributions.
- This would bring more transparency, encourage community engagement, and could also serve as an educational tool for newcomers to software development.
-
Proposed Outcome:
- A section in Elemo where public projects can be browsed or followed.
- Real-time updates (commits, pull requests, issues, deployments, etc.) from these projects could be displayed in a structured timeline.
-
Benefits:
- Increases transparency in open-source projects.
- Enables companies/teams to showcase their work in progress.
- Provides an opportunity for students and developers to learn by watching real-world development cycles unfold.
-
Potential Challenges:
- Handling large-scale data updates efficiently.
- Privacy and permissions for organizations that may not want all activity to be visible.
- UI/UX design for presenting real-time project activity without overwhelming users.
Drawbacks
Increased complexity in implementation.
Higher server and resource usage.
Potential delays in project updates if real-time tracking is enabled.
