If you're interested in contributing, feel free to fork, star, or open issues/PRs.
Areas where help is especially welcome:
- Data visualization and analytics features

Although SciBitHub is deployed using free-tier services (Vercel, Supabase), some features like file uploads are limited or disabled due to resource constraints.
If you’d like to help with:
- Hosting the platform or offering scalable infrastructure
- Providing cloud storage or file handling (MinIO, S3, etc.)
- Improving deployment, CI/CD, or DevOps
- Sponsoring deployment or storage costs
