What I built
I have built an example of how you can connect MongoDB to GitHub Actions and use it as a reward system for a repo's contributors.
Category Submission:
This might be aDIY Deployments submission and the action runs on every push and helps figure out who the committer is.
If not, then it is aWacky Wildcards submission.

Background
I feel like a reward system always keeps me going and I wanted contributors to Open Source Communities to also feel the enthusiasm to keep them contributing.
I've always loved using MongoDB and I wanted to learn how to combine that with GitHub Actions.
How I built it
I used React and Next.js to create this website, and then I hosted it on Vercel.
I obviously used MongoDB as a database, as it is great for people who like using NoSQL databases.
I learnt how to create and use GitHub Actions, and I also learnt how to run specific files withnpm.
Additional Resources/Info
I would like to give special thanks to the GitHub documentation for providing a lot of information which helped me create the Action.
