It's been almost a week now since the campaign for Utopian Colony started, and there's been massive and positive response all over the steem blockchain and beyond. Initially, I wrote an article on the overview of the current campaign, and what the meaning of an open source project is.

Without further ado, it'll interest you to know that only open source contributions make it easy and possible for the development in the digital world. It's very easy to work on an open source project as long as you have the needed resources you need. One disadvantage many persons are faced with is the fact that there are limited resources which will then make an open source contributor to allow the idea in his mind to slip away.

Since the inception of the Utopian.io initiative, it has been making it easy for those who know it and right now they are working on a more advanced project known as the Utopian Colony, and they fully need the support of every steemian. From the very onset, there are many testifiers on the steem blockchain that has enjoyed many benefits from the Utopian platform, and in return, they are asking for our support in their latest Utopian campaign. This will aid the company to carry out more responsibilities in the open source community and also reward active participants that are involved in the campaign.

Utopian.io which is an undaunted force in the open source community has fervently rewarded over 70,000 contributions to more than 9,000 repositories. They are not alone in this quest for a more advanced open source software as they are supported by other reputable and well-known supporter Apps. I'll talk about some of the supporters of the Utopian Colony in this post, and more in the next. Some of the proud supporters of the platform are;

Quasar:

Quasar, which is one of the supporters and promoters of the Utopian Colony is an MIT open source framework with a license that helps both developers and others in creating a responsive website and applications in different ways and flavors.

Developers using Quasar are encouraged to follow web development best practices, and it comes embedded with many such features out of the box. HTML/CSS/JS minification, cache busting, tree shaking, source mapping, code-splitting & lazy loading, ES6 transpiling, linting code, accessibility features. Quasar takes care of all these and more - no configuration needed. source

With Quasar, developers can easily write code once with any hurdle and simultaneously deploy these written codes as a website, a mobile application and or an Electron App with the same code. Also, Quasar makes it very possible and stress-free for designing an app in record time that will be backed by swift Quasar web components. All these features are all that can be enjoyed from open source software. There are loads of benefits and features on the Quasar platform, most notably;

• Progressive Web App

• Single Page App

Another amazing fact about this open source community is that there's a component for each and every web development out there and each of these components is severely attended to so as to provide the best experience for its users. One are the platform takes special pride in is their swift performance and responsiveness, making it stress-free for its users. All developers using the platform are encouraged to follow the best practices by web development which comes with numerous features out of the box.

CoinGecko

Sounds new but CoinGecko has been around for quite a while, I think since the fuss about cryptocurrency some years back. Today, it is one of the world's biggest cryptocurrency platform considering how the world is revolutionalizing into a world where everyone wants to invest in one cryptocurrency or the other. With hundreds of new altcoins flooding into the market, each cryptocurrency has been developed with a particular purpose, so the question many investors will be asking themselves is. "Which cryptocurrency should I then invest in"? This is where CoinGecko comes in to play a very vital role.

CoinGecko is one of the leading cryptocurrency platforms that was co-founded by Bobby Ong and TM Lee in a bid to evaluate coins based on a fluid algorithm, to also determine how valuable these coins are, compared to others. CoinGecko, therefore, list the top cryptocurrencies - at the time of writing, at about 3000 altcoins, are ranked according to their weighted criteria.
