Mine’s Redirector. I use it to force redirection of some URLs, for example:
That’s actually amazing. The only names I remember are spez and awkward the turtle and I’d rather not have them 500 ft near this platform 🙄
The Drama🍿 I mean, err, the beautiful communities about everything imaginable!
Actually, same here! I used to get overwhelmed by just the thoughts of contributing to GitHub projects too, because I think my code was kinda bad and I didn’t want to get judged at. Whenever I thought about repo maintainers/reviewers, I always imagined that they would be all like Linus Torvalds, and I was afraid of getting shamed for my poor code, lol!
I was lucky because I had skills in drawing arts, so I started by contributing icons to an Android icon pack project, which didn’t really require coding skills, and is actually something I know I can do. The maintainer of my first contribution turned out to be a very friendly and cool person instead of someone grumpy and direct I always had images of in my head! From there, I gradually learned about the tools and coding a project.
I think the truth is if you want to contribute, even when you think your code isn’t up to standard, you really still need to start somewhere. If you don’t feel any confident, start forking a small project with some incomplete milestones that you know is something you can do, I think? Some projects that have chatrooms that you can ask if you aren’t sure about anything should be a really good place to get started too.
Just remember that not all reviewers are out there to chew on your code, lol.
