TL;DR: Driwwwle is an open-source social network to showcase your projects with like, comments, notifications, profiles and real-time chat.

As developers, we like to look out for new and exciting projects or products. However, finding them is not the easiest task out there. Sure, you can scroll through GitHub's trending section to find a lot of awesome products but what if it is closed source?

Things aren't so hard for designers though. They can visit a website like Dribbble or Behance and enjoy the thousands of creative designs easily. What if we had something like Dribbble, but for developers?

Introducing Driwwwle
