P.S. Maintainers: Wondering how you can get your repos in tip-top shape for contributors? Take a look at this article.

P.P.S. If you'd like to find a way to lend your expertise to this year's group of open source newbies participating in Hacktoberfest, Raise.dev's Hacktoberfest Helpdesk is the perfect opportunity!

[Amruta Ranade]

Congratulations on your first contribution! Merged the PR!!

[lex]

Thanks for sharing your repo, Amruta! Just checking - is it okay for several folks to contribute to/open pull requests for each language-specific to-do issue, or are you accepting one PR per issue?

Thank you!

What is tisn.app?

Welcome to the tisn.app (or just Tisn) repository! We are very glad to have you here. If you want to help us make Tisn better, this is definitely the place to be!

The primary objective of Tisn is to try and address the problem of the apparent difficulty that exists to meet people and make new friends on this modern world. To do that, our social network:

1. Connects people according to their interests
2. Encourages people to go outside and meet others while doing something that they all enjoy
3. Is as simple as possible

We try to do all of that while being completely transparent and respecting our users' privacy.

Anyone with experience in stylesheets, we're looking to transition from standard CSS to LESS for our Cordova mobile app as well as add some other functionality; feel free to check out the issues:

Scratch-Client-4 / itchy-cordova

📱 Cordova-based mobile client for Scratch

Itchy

A mobile client (app) for Scratch built with Apache Cordova

Building

Requirements

• Git
• Node.js and NPM (most likely bundled with your Node.js installation)
• The Cordova CLI, install it with: npm install -g cordova
  • Note : macOS users might need to change directory permisisons if getting a permission error..
• A JDK, Android Studio, and Gradle. Install them according to this guide.

First, clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/scratch-client-4/itchy-cordova

Then go into it and install all dependencies:

cd itchy-cordova
npm install

You should see two version numbers appear. Then run the build script:

npm run-script build

It'll build you the runnable source files (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) in a directory called www. After that you can build the project into an Android package (APK) file:

cordova platform add android
cordova build android --minSdkVersion=22

The last few lines of the output of that command will tell you where the…

Hi Micah, I could help with it, I have experience migrating from CSS to other preprocessors and refactoring HTML, but first I want to ask you some questions about it :)

There is a place where I can connect with you? I just follow you here, if you can follow me back we can talk by DM 💜 Thanks in advance!

💯% recommended for beginners 🔥

[Jaye Hernandez]

Thanks Vaibhav!! 🤩

[Rahil Sarvaiya]

This is my first shot at Hacktoberfest, looking forward to contribute here 🙌🏻

[Jaye Hernandez]

Will be waiting for your contribution! 🥳

[dennislwm]

Hi,
Nice work. I was wondering if this extension could be customized for other text, such as quote of the day. Will it be difficult to modify the code or is the code modular?

Sorry, if this is off-topic. Rgds

[Jaye Hernandez]

Sorry for the late reply, haven't been able to visit DEV in a while. Technically this is possible, code is quite modular! But for the quote of the day, since it's a language learning app, I'd like for the quotes to be solely related to that for now. :)

[Anna]

This is so cool! Despite being a software developer for the last few years, this year would be my first year contributing to Hacktoberfest and your project looks so open-source beginner-friendly, I'm already looking at how to contribute!

[Jaye Hernandez]

Thank you for the kind words, Anna! Looking forward to your contribution this Hacktoberfest!

[Maria Belan-Crawford]

This is a great project!! Definitely beginner friendly. Thanks for posting it here!

Thank you for contributing as well! 😊
