Bitcoin Grant Application Portal

A unified platform that allows developers to apply for grants from multiple Bitcoin funding organizations using a single application form.

Overview

This application provides:

1. A common grant application form that works with multiple Bitcoin funding organizations
2. A centralized place to submit applications rather than visiting each organization's website
3. An expandable architecture that can easily add new grant organizations

Features

• Single application form with fields commonly required by Bitcoin funding organizations
• Support for multiple organizations with organization-specific submission handling
• Email confirmations using SendGrid for both applicants and administrators
• Clean, responsive UI with validation
• Easy to expand to additional organizations

Supported Organizations

Currently, the portal supports:

• OpenSats

More organizations are planned for the future.

Development

Getting Started

1. Clone this repository
2. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

3. Create a .env.local file:

   # Organization API endpoints
   OPENSATS_API_URL=https://opensats.org/api/github
   OPENSATS_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
   
   # SendGrid Email Configuration
   SENDGRID_API_URL=https://opensats.org/api/sendgrid
   

4. Run the development server:

   npm run dev
   

5. Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser

API Integration

This application integrates with the OpenSats website API endpoints:

1. /api/github - For submitting applications to GitHub as issues
2. /api/sendgrid - For sending email confirmations to applicants

Both endpoints are hosted in the OpenSats website application, not within this grant application portal. The grant portal simply forwards requests to these endpoints.

Adding a New Organization

To add support for a new grant organization:

1. Add the organization to config/organizations.ts
2. Create an organization-specific submission handler in app/api/submit/route.ts
3. Add any organization-specific fields to the form component if needed
