Good job! "What else should I do for April": Check out Sebastian Lague and Acerola channels. These are some of my favorite channels on YouTube.

nice! maybe I should contribute to the repo as well whenever I face any issues here. you can also do what happened in the Tech space every week but it might be too overwhelming!

Reggie just needed a good receipt to get megumi 😂

Thanks Anmol! Can't wait to see you on the repository if you ever get the chance!

I will take it to consideration, but hold it off for now on posting every week about things happening in the tech space. Trying not to overwhelm myself, but if I see I have room to do it, I will :D

You think Reggie would have good receipts to defeat Megumi, but I guess not among other things XD

Thanks again!

Awesome recap, Francis! Congrats on the Forem PRs and the Gemini win!
My April goals are all about the Terminal vibe:
Built my entire portfolio as a Terminal (DotUniverse).

Just launched DotGhostBoard 👻 (a privacy-first Linux clipboard manager).
Major UX refactor for dotShare and dotfetch.

Conquering my April Growth Challenge (Aiming for 2.5k followers here!)
Let's crush April!

Thank for featuring me in your monthly Dev Report. It feels really amazing to get recognized by amazing people like you. I didn't know my writing could have impact on anyone. I just write what comes from heart.

Feeling amazing to get featured by you and yes amazing article on Dev.to Guide they should email it to everyone that onboards so that they know how to showcase their best on this platform.

Congrats on your PR merge and getting Top 5 spots on the challenge. Amazing efforts keep up the good stuff. We all are so proud of you.

I'm really glad that you found my article insightful. I have never thought that someone would found my words worthy. Thank you so much for making me feel so special.

It's 2 for 2 now. I need to write something better for the third chance. Keep up the good work and would love to see you rise and shine.

6 merged PRs on Forem in one month, that's no joke. Most people talk about contributing to open source "someday." You're actually shipping.

Honest take from someone who works on visibility strategy: open source contributions are one of the most underrated ways to build a professional profile. Especially when you're open to work. Recruiters scan GitHub. Maintainers remember names. And a Dev Contributor badge says more than a polished "About" section ever will.

Keep stacking those PRs.

Take nice walk outside to relax the mind at least once a week preferably aimless but set alarm to return.
