Please describe your proposed solution.

Most of the people in web3 starts with a community, but there is no way to identify which communities to join, due to which many people lose interest and don't get started with web3. We are creating a platform to make it easier to discover a community so more people join the ecosystem of Cardano and web3

Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.

people will be able to discover communities of cardano and hence more people will join the ecosystem. We will do it via adding intro of each community and providing community driven reviews
