Why did you pick this idea to work on? Do you have domain expertise in this area? How do you know people need what you’re making?:
I’m a frequent ETHGlobal hackathon participant and I turned my passion into organising ETHAccra. Upon great success we have decided in doing a second edition because the appetite is huge and there is ample room in helping scaling the Ethereum developer ecosystem in Ghana.
