I'm so glad to hear your expectations were exceeded! Any tips for new contributors who might be considering participating in Hacktoberfest this year?

My only tip for the first time contributors is that don't think that you should know everything.
If you’ve never contributed you might be a little nervous to make your first PR. You may have assumed that making PR is some expert kind of thing but as long as you know the thing you're shipping and making the PR for, you're good 🙂.
And all the best ✌🙏🤟👨‍💻👩‍💻
