Hey Jacob, I always thought about doing small contributions to open source projects and have done them, but I always felt it was insignificant -- although the authors were always very happy to see me contributing! I should keep doing it :) amazing and congratulations on your well-earned money! πŸŽ‰

As a maintainer -- I'm never unhappy when someone makes a small improvement. I especially love documentation updates because that is a huge driving force for adoption.

One of the first things I do when I'm looking into a new Open Source project is trying to fix typos and unclear documentation. It forces me to read the docs, and I can be helpful!
