Hacktoberfest week 4

Plans Change

This week My original plan was to work on Telescope on this issue 3639. I haven't given up on this issue yet however i think it will take a lot more work than I initially planed.

What Next

I found a repo with a active community and an issue that while i had no experience with vue I thought I would be able to solve.

Issue

They even gave me advice on where the issue was and ideas on how to fix it. However I had trouble setting the environment up i was running all of the commands and it was still giving me errors. So i decided to join their discord and found a welcoming community for their card game where they were planning tournaments and even invited me to play and teach me. After explaining my issue the owner hopped in a call with me and tried to help me trouble shoot and discover the issue. Turns out they built their game on a Linux system and recently tried to bring it to windows but while it did work on their end it didn't work on mine I helped test some things and we discovered that because our versions of node.js were different it wasn't working for mine.
After we got things working I found the bug and fixed it and changed some things based on his feedback. and with that i was officially done Hacktoberfest

Pull Request

What I Learned

Hacktoberfest taught me that the open source community is much more welcoming and willing to work with people of all experience levels. I made friends and learned that it's ok to struggle and ask questions in open-source. Next year I think I'll participate again.
