mozdev-platform is a digital home, open-source organization initiative, and technology ecosystem designed for developers, builders, startups, students, contributors, and technology enthusiasts from Mozambique, Africa, and beyond.
Our goal is to foster collaboration, showcase projects, enable networking, support mentorship, and build a robust open-source developer community.
This project is a partnership between Zedecks IT Open Source Initiative (zedecks) and Edmilson Muacigarro (iradoweck).
To reflect our builder-first, tech-forward mission, mozdev-platform uses a premium, high-tech Deep Space Neon Dark Mode palette:
- Deep Space Background:
#08090C(Sleek, dark, low-fatigue backdrop) - Vibrant Cyber Green (Primary):
#00FF66(Represents youth, growth, and coding vitality) - Electric Cyan (Secondary):
#00F0FF(Represents connectivity, data, and modern flow) - Hot Magenta (Accent):
#FF007A(Highlight elements, interactive micro-animations, and call-to-actions) - Typography: Outfit & JetBrains Mono (for code blocks)
Our architecture is designed to be modular, scalable, and community-driven:
- Framework: Laravel (API-first architecture)
- Realtime: Laravel Reverb + WebSockets (Instant messages, notifications, live activity feeds)
- Database: MySQL / MariaDB (Structured transactional data)
- Search: Meilisearch (Lightning-fast, typo-tolerant search for profiles, posts, and projects)
- Frontend: Vue.js / React (Monorepo architecture allows multiple frontend clients to interface with the core API)
- UI Framework: TailwindCSS (Modern, flexible, responsive design system built around our custom neon dark palette)
We organize our codebase using a pnpm Workspaces monorepo architecture:
