Strapi is an open-source framework that enables developers to build robust and scalable applications quickly, with a focus on freedom of unlimited customizations in JavaScript. The platform was founded by Ondřej Janošík, who organized meetups in the Czech Republic to share his knowledge with the community. Strapi has gained popularity among developers, particularly those in the custom software development agency Notum technologies, which uses it for multiple projects, including their own product for online testing of development skills. The company's CEO believes that sharing knowledge and helping others is essential, and they have organized meetups to share their experience with the Strapi community. The team is looking for people to help with community building, and those interested can contact them on their official website. Notum technologies also offers support and help with implementing Strapi in projects.
