Hello maintainers 👋

I’m Josué, an experienced open-source contributor with a strong background in blockchain-oriented systems and full-stack development. I’ve worked on multiple projects involving Stellar and Soroban smart contracts, backend APIs, and frontend applications built with React, always paying close attention to code organization, performance, and user experience.

I’m used to contributing in collaborative open-source environments and understand the importance of clear scope definition, clean implementations, and maintainable solutions. From initial analysis to final pull request, I follow a structured approach that ensures reliability and long-term value for the project.

This issue is well aligned with my experience, and I’m confident I can provide a high-quality solution efficiently. Feel free to check my GitHub profile to review my previous contributions and technical work across different repositories.

I’m excited about the opportunity to contribute, collaborate with the maintainers, and help push this task to completion with a professional and results-driven mindset.

Best regards.

Hello team,

I’d like to take on Issue #4: Projects Tab – Projects Discovery View.

I have prior experience contributing to Boundless and I’m familiar with the existing UI patterns and data flow within the platform. I understand that this view is a discovery layer, so clarity, performance, and consistency are critical to helping contributors quickly find relevant projects.

My implementation approach will include:

Building a clean, scannable project card grid that displays logos (with graceful fallbacks), line-clamped descriptions, tags, and open bounty counts.

Implementing instant client-side filtering for search (name and description), tags, and “has open bounties,” along with sorting by newest, most open bounties, and recently updated.

Ensuring cards navigate cleanly to the project detail page without breaking existing routing.

Handling edge cases such as missing logos, long descriptions, and empty result sets with clear, informative UI states.

Delivering a fully responsive layout that adapts smoothly from desktop to mobile.

Following the existing Boundless UI structure and component conventions to maintain visual and behavioral consistency.

I will ensure the final implementation meets the acceptance criteria and integrates cleanly with the current codebase.

Happy to proceed if assigned.

GM GM!

I've reviewed the requirements for the Projects Discovery View. I specialize in building performant listing pages with robust filtering and search capabilities.

My Plan:

Project Card: Build a reusable, line-clamped card component that handles missing logos gracefully and highlights the open bounty count.

Filtering Logic: Implement instant-update filters for search (name/desc), tags, and the "open bounties" toggle.

Sorting: Integrate sorting functionality for "Newest," "Most Bounties," and "Recently Updated" states.

UX/UI: Ensure the grid is fully responsive and implement an informative "Empty State" when no projects match the filter criteria.

ETA: 2 days.
