About MalabarJS

MalabarJS is a community for JavaScript developers in Kerala, India. We exist to bring together frontend engineers, full-stack developers, indie hackers, and anyone passionate about the JavaScript ecosystem.

Why MalabarJS?

Kerala has an incredible pool of JavaScript talent - developers working at startups, building products, contributing to open source, learning React/Vue/Svelte, shipping with Node/Bun/Deno. But everyone's scattered in their own corners.

MalabarJS is that missing space where JS folks in Kerala can come together - to share knowledge, celebrate projects, find collaborators, and grow the local JS culture.

What We Do

• Meetups: Regular gatherings for talks, demos, and conversations
• Writing: Blog posts about JS, frontend, and the local tech scene
• Open Source: Community projects built together
• Showcasing: Highlighting projects and people from Kerala

Our Values

• 01
  Inclusive by Default

  Everyone's welcome - beginners, experts, and everyone in between. No gatekeeping.

• 02
  Open Source Mindset

  We share knowledge freely, contribute to OSS, and build in public.

• 03
  Local First

  Rooted in Kerala, celebrating local talent, connected globally.

• 04
  No Corporate Nonsense

  We're a community, not a company. No sales pitches at meetups.
