other developers more experienced than you are, and not wanting to review their code.

I think I was afraid of reviewing others' code because of this. I'll try to make one step! Thank you

Great article, thank you! I'm in a similar situation, with the difference that sometimes I feel that I don't have much time to contribute besides my personal projects... I always come up with some ideas, and experiments and I feel like maybe I learn more from them but of course, I contribute sometimes and I want to contribute more.

Thanks Maurer, for reading my article! OpenFlame seems like a good organization! Being consistent in open source requires reasonable effort but the work is rewarding.

Thanks, I looked at this Palpatine project (star++), it would be great if there was a GitHub action that would turn MD/txt files into a website and upload it to a separate branch that can be hosted.

That's a great suggestion! I will take it into consideration in future releases 🤩

I created a simple POC github.com/MaurerKrisztian/md-to-web. It would be nice if the releases include an executable, the workflow could download the latest version and use it *(build is slow with make that's why I suggest that).
