I was thrilled to take part on the 10th anniversary of Hacktoberfest as a maintainer as well as a contributor. I have been participating in hacktoberfest since the past three years.</p> <h3> Project </h3> <p>My project was an excuse generator made in HTML, CSS and JavaScript. It was a fun project and also a good one to introduce poeple to open source and make them contribute. I introduced quite a few people to open source and it gave me happiness seeing them contribute and completing hacktoberfest and they were loving open source. </p> hack23maintainer hacktoberfest23 Ayush Shah Sat, 04 Nov 2023 10:05:19 +0000 https://dev.to/ayushshahh/three-years-of-completing-hacktoberfest-22c4 https://dev.to/ayushshahh/three-years-of-completing-hacktoberfest-22c4 <p>I love open source!♥</p> <h3> Intro </h3> <p>I first completed hacktoberfest in 2021 and since then, there's no going back. 2022 and now 2023, three amazing years of contributing to open source. For the past two years, I was participating as a contributor but this year I participated as a contributor as well as a maintainer. Getting people introduced to open source and making them contribute is a great feeling.</p> <h3> Growth </h3> <p>At first, I was making non-code PRs but afterwards I started making better PRs like adding features, solving bugs and ofcourse documentation. The journey has been really great.</p> hack23contributor hacktoberfest23
