Wapuugotchi

Project Description

This project is a notification service for WordPress users that utilizes a personalized Wapuu character to deliver important messages. In addition to receiving notifications, users can also customize and unlock various items for their Wapuu character by completing tasks within their WordPress instance. Additionally, other plugins can create and assign tasks through a hook system, allowing users to unlock even more items for their Wapuu.

• We also want to work with designers familiar with vector images to Design the Wapuus and items
• Textual contributors
