1. I am working on this alone, so I dont have a team or a team name.
2. DWARAKESH VENKATESH, CB.SC.U4CSE23020

Hey @DwarakeshV020 . Understanding the scope of the project, I would strongly recommend that you find a teammate or two.

While it's not a mandate. It'll help you work towards completing the MVP for it within the duration of the program. PING me here within 24-48 hours with an updated team if you can ?

In case you are unable to find someone and have to go solo, that's also fine; happy to take your name in.

You'll still have to give yourself a team-name.

Hey @Dwarakesh-V and team SCP-049. It's great to see you boys working towards this. Let me know if you need any clarity regarding the problem statement. A couple of TODOs from here onwards:

Proposal Deadline : 15th July, 2025

1. One team-mate must fork the repository and share it's link in this discussion thread for us to keep track.
2. Come up with a proposal and action-plan on the list of features that you are going to build / include. How will they be exposed to the developer using your application and how it makes his/her life easy. Remember the objective is to make it easy to work with cloudflare. You can think along the lines of integrating GenAi or making it Low/No-Code. It must not become a replica of the cloudflare dashboard as a desktop app.
3. I understand that this project would take time to build so it would be better if you try to come up with an action plan keeping 6-8 weeks of total development time in mind.
4. Based upon the progress of 6 weeks, in-case there is an extension required; I'll look into it.
5. Lastly, not all services of cloudflare come within the free-tier. You might need to make a payment of $5/month in order to use some of them. Take that into account while deciding features. You are allowed to pool in and make the purchase with the help of your team-members if you wish to build features which are covered by the paid plans of cloudflare although it is OPTIONAL and completely upto the team.
6. Do look into the REST API docs of Cloudflare for ideating. There isn't much of an official Rust SDK for Cloudflare hence there is another project Rust SDK v4 for Cloudflare that's coming up as well. Feel free to chat with the teams over there and see if you can work together to utilize the Rust crate that they will be writing.

Alright @Ethish107

As you have elected to go solo, I would like you to do the following:

1. Fork the repo and send us the forked repo URL
2. Chalk out an action plan with regards to all the features you would be building. Remember this is an MVP. Keep a timeline of 45-60 days in mind. Send me the Google doc of this.
3. Coding is to begin only after the plan has been discussed and approved
