SimplerGrants Introduction

SimplerGrants is an open source tool to help people be able to search for and apply to grants. It aims to create a simpler application process for grants, and make them easier to navigate and read effectively.

I chose this project as it has some good issues that I can tackle, and I tackled some small issues already for this project. I also had completed some small issues prior.

The Issue and Contribution

This issue I decided to tackle was an issue to streamline the onboarding process for newcomers to contributing to SimplerGrants, and more specifically, the setup for the development environment for the project.

I went ahead and created a new quickstart documentation file in markdown for setting up SimplerGrants locally for development. I did this for frontend, API, and Full Stack (both frontend and API). I followed the criteria for the opened issue for creating the PR.

PR Description The PR I created which is still in the process of being merged

Currently, this PR is still open and the only thing blocking me is ensuring the prerequisites are correct for development setup which I am currently sorting for this to properly get merged.
