My random nepali name generator project blew up

And people are contributing to it. A guy made UI using tailwindcss. He fixed reloading data on every click. I don't know what to do. He's asking to convert this application to full stack application using vue and laravel. But I've no idea about these technology as I'm beginner. Neither do I've that much of free time for this project. What should I do? Should I be upfront honest? It's being starred by 2-3 people. And there is also another guy contributing to it.

You have a couple of choices:
- tell them its a student project and that you have little time or interest to do anything more with it
- give them the code as its not that hard to replicate the idea and let them run with it (ask them to give you credit for what you wrote)
- comment your code with your name and some sort of Nepali copyright statement in the code
- start a side-business and maybe you can spin it into a consultancy or full on software shop
- don't give up on your student dreams though
- share the code on Github as a project (people can fork / clone your project and make a new and improved one from it)

I've shared the code on github where it's being forked, watched and starred. I'm baffled and so happy. Thank you @pbuk . I didn't get on your part where you said student dreams. What does that means?

You know as a student you dream of what you'll use your degree for.

Look at Bill Gates, he built a company with help from his enterprising mother. It started with him and Paul Allen building a BASIC interpreter for Southwest Technical Products as contractors until Gates said they were licensing the code to SWTP.

SWTP built the first of the home computer kits and systems: the Altair 8080 and the Altair 6800 (I still have my Altair 6800 and it lights up ie works I think -- 6800 cpu with a wopping 16k memory programmable through the frontpanel switches)

Tailwind, Vue and Laravel are an excellent combination and along with the testing and devops that go with them, very employable skills - I'd say go with it and learn with him as you go.

I think he already laid the foundation for his own project based on yours.

Oh yeah! Great to see my idea going this big.
