Awesome! ๐ฅ
Submitted and got my first PR for Hacktoberfest merged.
For my Where in the World project I figured out how to get history working properly with React Router. I also fixed an issue I had with lazy loading and did some refactoring of the code.
Got a new pair of glasses so I can see everything clearly again. ๐ค
SO MANY THINGS HAPPENED THIS WEEK
What type of PR is this? (check all applicable)
Description
This is Fix For #4106. The current color-picker does not show a preview so it is hard to guess the color contrast. I added a preview (screenshot added below) which shows your selected colors.
Also, Added a
<input type="color">which makes it is easy to select the color.Since there are other pages that depend on 'color-picker' class I did not change anything in
colorPicker.jsor any of the styles of current color-picker. I created a new filecolorPreview.jsand some new classes in html.Mobile & Desktop Screenshots/Recordings (if there are UI changes)
Mobile
Desktop
Recording
Added to documentation?
[optional] What gif best describes this PR or how it makes you feel?
My first PR To DEV! I was not very sure if I could do this or not since DEV's codebase is probably the largest codebase I've ever worked on but now I'm super proud of myself to complete this๐ป
Me showing this code to everyone :
My PR to add WebApp configs merged in REACT so you can now Add to Homescreen react's documentation!
This solves issue #2259
Then
Currently there is not manifest set for the website so logo is blank and title is set as a name. Also the color of URL bar in chrome is plain white. Here's how it will look after this PR.Now
Image 1 is to show the new color of URL bar in chrome Image 2 is the screen after selecting "Add to homescreen" Image 3 is the splash screen after opening it as WebApp
I've added color to the URL bar, Configured name, short_name and other properties. and added a logo file in
src/images/react_logo.png(Needed 512px png logo so had to add a new logo)This is my first contribution here so I'm sorry if I missed out on something
All of my PRs (I made 5 :D) got Approved by the reviewers and 3 are merged!
I had an interview the day before yesterday and it went really well and I got a fair chance to prove my skills and the interview was very meaningful and probably the best interview of my life so I am very satisfied
Also, I slept for 10 hours today so yes it was a great week ๐ป
My win was making my first ever substantive open source contributions. It felt like a double win when they were approved and merged!
Got 5 new contributors to my project and finished Text to speech in my app.
I rebuilt the bathroom floor and replaced the toilet in the house we recently bought. Found out the toilet had been leaking, probably for several months. There are a few pictures in the tweet:
Mhm, this week has been awesome. My contributions to this wonderful community basically exploded
and then when I thought it couldn't get any better, Chris Coyier himself said he loved my post. Just Awesome! Thanks @DEV

Worked through a statement of work to start a new consulting project. Iโll be helping a client in the education sector update the architecture of their web apps to some newer technology, and showing them the basics of DevOps. Really nice client (Iโve worked on an iPad app for them before). Iโm grateful for the opportunity.
My win this week ... well, there were a couple ... but the one that's exciting me most at the moment, and which I will write about soon is figuring out how to load an entire dotnet assembly tree into ClearScript without having to include it in the solution.
So now I can create a folder somewhere, run
where %1 resolves to, say, WordPressPCL, and watch all the related packages install. Once that's done I can create a
WP.assemblylistfile and put the aforementioned folder path in it on line 1 followed by the topmost DLL name on the second line, e.g.When I run my ClearScript-enabled CLI, it loads WordPressPCL.DLL and all its dependencies into the JavaScript engine and lets me do stuff like
I can see all kinds of possibilities for this to extend the reach of the CLI exe without amping up the size of the core EXE.
I got my first online tech talk published on youtube and over 300 people watched it! ๐

With our team we fixed a very tricky concurrent update transaction bug after 4 PR (and 3 regressions of courses).
I can go in peace now... !
(learned so much about how transactions work, those kind of bugs force you to go dive into obscure and magic documentations...)
Got 5 PRs merged this week!
Realising - holy crap! - I have around 7.5k followers on this platform! How on earth did that happen??

This week I launched the landing page for my new project!
I also wrote a post on DEV about it for World Mental Health Day.
Can't wait to launch!
That's awesome, congrats on the leap!
i started my new job on monday. i am trying to get used to my new work and probably i will it untill next week.
Nowadays i want to improve my english. So i purchased a cambly subscription.
I worked on a documentation project. I build it with vuepress and i plan to finish it on friday.
You got this.
My big win this week is a great start to a new project that I would like to make available to the members of #JavaScript group that I own on Facebook of over 104K members. We are still fielding ideas and polling the group members to make sure that this is a service that they would like to have in the group. If the group members are all for this, I will work hard to turn it into something successful.
I have started looking into ways to provide career advice in the group.
So far I have found a career coach who has agreed to volunteer her service to the group members through a Q&A session.
I have spoken with a few professionals who understand that self-promotion is not allowed in the group. These people are completely open to giving back and not looking to profit from the group. So, I am looking forward to seeing what the group can achieve with all the amazing help of my connections, and the development community on a whole.

I know it's not a real thing, but I think it will be pretty helpful for future refactorings ๐
I created a PR to fix a bug in Vuetify (one of the, if not the, biggest Vue.js UI frameworks) and it was MERGED!
It was a relatively small PR/fix but given how massive and widely used the framework is I'm pretty pumped to have been able to contribute.
YEAH! You're up to an exciting journey, so happy for you!!!
This week I recieved my Certified SAFeยฎ 4 Practitioner (SP)!

I finally started that website I promised my sister for her photography business!
I committed to a weekend without attempting to create, code, or design a thing.
I just reacted ๐คก
I made my first ever contribution to open source. Loved the experience!

My biggest win this week was to win over ten new customers in one week and satisfy them
I finished hacktoberfest, that was a huge win for me! Also, I've managed to get 100% test coverage on most of my open-source projects. Now it'll be much easier to work on them in the future.
I've kept up with the daily SQL challenges that I started publishing a little over a week ago. I still have a ways to go (only on day 9 so far) but it's been fun.
