Summary

The text highlights a project by Kacha Mukabe, a grand winner of the 2021 Leonhard Euler Idea Contest, which uses Neo4j graphs to create a developer community platform called Developers.Zed. The platform aims to make the local developer community more visible and connect developers based on their relationships and skills. Despite having no graph database background, Kacha was able to build the application in just two weeks using GRANDstack and the Neo4j Cypher language. He faced challenges with reconciling GraphQL queries and working with React, but overall found it easier than expected. The source code for the front-end and backend are open on GitHub, allowing others to learn from his thought process and apply similar schematics to their own projects.
