Becoming a Honored Contributor: My Hacktoberfest Journey

Hello DEV community!

I'm Ishan, and I'm honored to have achieved the Hacktoberfest 2023 Honored Contributor Badge. This journey has been incredible, filled with challenges, learning, and most importantly, the joy of contributing to open source projects.

In this post, I'll be sharing my experiences of actively contributing during Hacktoberfest 2023. I'll talk about the projects I worked on, the hurdles I overcame, and the lessons I learned. Being a part of this vibrant community has been inspiring, and I can't wait to share my insights with all of you.

Thank you for the support, and here's to more open source contributions in the future!

Awesome work Ishan!

To make sure you get the badges you're after on DEV, please just follow these steps:

  • Share a post that includes direct GitHub PR links to help us verify your contributions.
  • Ensure your GitHub account matches your Hacktoberfest profile. It's crucial for validation.
  • Refer to the Contributor Template for detailed post formatting guidance.

Do all these things and we'll be sure to give you the honored contributor badge. In any case, we'll still give you the pledge badge for writing this post up. 🙌

Thanks so much for participating in this year's event. By the way, you can refer to this post for full contributor completion instructions.
