This is a submission for the 2024 Hacktoberfest Writing challenge: Contributor Experience

Experience

This year’s Hacktoberfest was an amazing experience that helped me discover the power of open source. I enjoyed learning, collaborating, and making meaningful contributions to projects that matched my interests in UI/UX design and interactive features.

My main goal was to improve my skills while working on a variety of projects. During the month, I picked up new coding techniques and learned how to work better with others in a team. This journey not only sharpened my technical skills but also connected me more with the open-source community.

Let’s take a look at the projects that made my Hacktoberfest special and the important lessons I learned along the way!

My Open Source Contribution

1. WebCrumbs

  • Contributions: Made a design template.

2. Manifest

  • Contributions: Removing duplication from the SCSS files. By identifying and eliminating redundant code, I improved the overall efficiency and maintainability of the stylesheets.

3. CopilotKit

  • Contributions: I developed a Quote Generator App. This app allows users to generate quotes using CopilotKit and share their favorite quotes with others. Users can also add new quotes to their collection and easily delete quotes they no longer want. This project not only improved my skills in application development but also showcased the capabilities of CopilotKit in creating user-friendly interfaces.

4. freeCodeCamp

  • Contributions: I developed a quiz on security topics using TypeScript. This interactive quiz includes multiple-choice questions designed to educate users on key security concepts and best practices. Creating this project enhanced my TypeScript skills while promoting awareness in the field of security.
