Quotes by Gabriel Manor, Director of Engineering @ Permit
About Permit & OPAL
Permit.io is a full-stack authorisation platform built on top of OPAL (Open Policy Administration Layer), an administration layer for Policy Engines.
Permit wanted to increase awareness about authorisation for developers and brand-name recognition in the open-source ecosystem.
“For a long time, it has been difficult for us to attract developers into OPAL. Most of the developers are aware about authentication, but not about authorisation. We want to educate the market before it is too late.”
Implementing Creator Quests
Creator quests are coding challenges that reward software developers for their creativity and ideas. In a creator quest, Quira prompts their 50k+ open-source community with a challenge that has been tailored around the needs of the business partner, in this case Permit. For the quest with Permit, Quira designed three challenges so that developers with different levels of experience could engage with Permit & OPAL.
The impact of Quira Creator Quests
Around 3,500 developers in Quira’s community were introduced to permitio/opal as a direct result of the Quest. The collaboration yielded 100+ submissions. ✨
“Quest was the perfect way for us to raise awareness about authorisation. We are still in the early days of authorisation.”
The engagement of permit within our community increased the repository’s awareness across different developer communities, all to the point that the repository collected over 1,100+ stars during the course of the quest.
“It is exciting to see the community engaging and building things with Permit or OPAL. We usually target developers through content, paid advertising, livestream, or conferences. With Quira Quest, we are able to reach out to a new user segment”
🌈 Looking ahead
The collaboration between Permit.io and Quira was a success. Quira and Permit.io are already brainstorming on a future collaboration 🤝
“Working with Quira team for Quest has been a first class experience. I am grateful for their help to keep the community engaged during Quest. I wish I could be more involved with Quira’s developer community in the future.”
