Hey! I'd absolutely love to contribute to creating free APIs for developers โ€” it's something I'm really passionate about. However, Iโ€™m currently caught up with my college exams, so I wonโ€™t be able to actively participate right now. Once the exams are over, Iโ€™d definitely be interested in joining or supporting the project. Best of luck in the meantime!

Thank you so much! ๐Ÿ˜Š
Burnout is real, and it does hit sometimes. I usually take short breaks, switch to something creative (like building a fun mini-project), or just disconnect for a while to recharge. I remind myself why I started and try not to chase perfectionโ€”just consistent, honest effort.
How do you deal with burnout on your end?
