What You'll Do

This is the bonus challenge for contributors who want to go further. Pick one of the options below and build something new for DevOps Daily.

Option A: Create a New Quiz

Create a full quiz with 10+ questions on a topic not yet covered.

File: content/quizzes/your-topic-quiz.json

{
  "title": "Ansible Quiz",
  "slug": "ansible-quiz",
  "description": "Test your Ansible knowledge",
  "category": "DevOps",
  "difficulty": "intermediate",
  "questions": [
    {
      "question": "Your question here?",
      "options": ["A", "B", "C", "D"],
      "correct": 0,
      "explanation": "Why A is correct..."
    }
  ]
}

Option B: Write a Tool Comparison

Create a side-by-side comparison of two DevOps tools.

File: content/comparisons/tool-a-vs-tool-b.json

Check existing comparisons in content/comparisons/ for the JSON structure. Include features, pros/cons, use cases, and a verdict.

Option C: Build a Checklist

Create a production-ready checklist for a DevOps task.

File: content/checklists/your-checklist.json

Check existing checklists in content/checklists/ for the format.

Option D: Contribute a Game or Simulator

This is the most advanced option. Build an interactive React component in components/games/.

Check existing games for the pattern - they use React, Framer Motion, and Tailwind CSS. Register your game in lib/games.ts and create a page in app/games/your-game/page.tsx.
