Wow, such a simple and unique concept. You always come up with simple yet amazing ideas.

Hi @francistrdev. How you been doing. Just checking up on you. I know you recently lost a friend who just quitted Dev.to. I hope you are well and working on your ideas.

I just wanted to let you know "You are amazing person and an awesome writer". Your articles always leave viewer with a knowledgable insight. I want to see you grow and attend a seminar held by Dev.to where their amazing writer share their experience and expertise. I wanted to talk to you and learn from you as I was scrolling through Forem github and working on the issues. I ran into installation issues and you were the first person to come to my mind due to your post on What's your win where your first pr was accepted.

You always comment on other people's posts and encourage them and also guide the new users through your guide and welcoming them in introduction. You are person that gives big brother vibes that whenever I'm in trouble, let's ask Francis for advice.

Thank you being so amazing and creating such valuable content. You matter and always keep shining and helping others in need. Thank you for being so awesome and congrats on your wins.

Ran through all your hurdles like this girl with car.

Hey @konark_13! I appriciate you taking the time to check up on me! I appreciate it!

Richard leaving Dev.to was heartbreaking for me since it has been years since I made a connection online and it was quite genuine since we both helped each other grow on this platform. Richard leaving made me feel lonely since it made me want to honor him by keep on growing on this platform and my career.

I am glad my content has helped you in many ways and always part of your choice to come here to seek advice, especially when you mentioned "I ran into installation issues and you were the first person to come to my mind due to your post on What's your win where your first pr was accepted". I am grateful!

Just want to clarify: "scrolling through Forem github and working on the issues". Are you currently contributing?

Other than that, I am grateful and happy that my articles helped you on Dev.to! I appreciate the support and wish you well on your journey as well!

Keep it up and nice Gif lmao xd

It takes little effort to reach out and check in with others, but the positive consequences can often be huge. I try to interact with a diversity of posts and in the welcome thread but I feel like I could do more of it. Thanks for sharing this message and for the reminder.

Thanks Julien! It does take effort whether you do it manually or try to make a bot. But even that takes work and we know which one is better lol

I noticed you also took the time to reply on many posts, which is great! I am hoping we all do it so we don't get a feeling of "one man army". Thanks again and hope you are well :D

Hey Omoniyi! Thanks for your comment! I recommend checking out this resource and start small first. I notice you don't have any post yet and I believe this is a great starting point:

thevalleyofcode.com

Just a side note to not copy/paste the same comment throughout this comment section. It would be best to leave one comment and they will respond to you. Leaving the same comment multiple times can lead to others thinking you are a robot and be ignored.

Other than that, Thanks!
