Hacktoberfest 2020 — Who's looking for contributors?

Update 10/2/20: If you’d like your project to be eligible for Hacktoberfest contributions, you must classify it as a Hacktoberfest Project.


Hacktoberfest 2020 is coming up on October 1st!

Starting now through the end of Hacktoberfest, maintainers can drop links to/information on their projects in the comments below. The goal? To find helpful contributors seeking projects to improve in the name of Hacktoberfest!

Participants can use this thread as a reference for projects that are actively seeking contributions 🎉

P.S. Maintainers: Wondering how you can get your repos in tip-top shape for contributors? Take a look at this article.

P.P.S. If you'd like to find a way to lend your expertise to this year's group of open source newbies participating in Hacktoberfest, Raise.dev's Hacktoberfest Helpdesk is the perfect opportunity! You can volunteer for paired programming and Q&A sessions via Twitch and more! A few of the DEV/Forem team will be helping out at this helpdesk — hope to see you there!

Thanks for sharing the resources. I would like to participate in this challenge and will start my journey of open-source. I have some experience with flutter and I am studying core java now. I will do everything I am capable of doing.

Thanks for sharing your repo, Amruta! Just checking - is it okay for several folks to contribute to/open pull requests for each language-specific to-do issue, or are you accepting one PR per issue?

Thank you!

Hi,
Nice work. I was wondering if this extension could be customized for other text, such as quote of the day. Will it be difficult to modify the code or is the code modular?

Sorry, if this is off-topic. Rgds

Sorry for the late reply, haven't been able to visit DEV in a while. Technically this is possible, code is quite modular! But for the quote of the day, since it's a language learning app, I'd like for the quotes to be solely related to that for now. :)

Alo! If you are interested in React Native or not, you are more than welcome to contribute to this new project we are doing to manage Styles.

We have different kinds of issues to work on: code, docs, tests and more.

GitHub logo rootstrap / react-native-use-styles

A classy approach to manage your react native styles.

A classy approach.

Did you ever want to organize your styles properly? This library contains an easy to use API that lets you organize your styles in a classy way.

Installation

npm install react-native-use-styles --save

Usage

Using styles

import useStyles from './my-namespaced-styles';
const component = ()  {
  const s = useStyles();
  return (
    <Text styles={s`.global .namespaced`}>
      Hello World
    </Text>
  );
}

Note that we are classy now, and nobody would deny it. Next we'll define our .global and .namespaced style to use them in our components as we are doing in this example.

Global styles

global-styles.js

import { GlobalStyles } from 'react-native-use-styles';

GlobalStyles({
  global: 'flex:1 fx:dir:row'
});

We are using aliases or shortcuts to define our styles. This is equivalent to do:

import { GlobalStyles } from

Sharing Pizzly - github.com/Bearer/Pizzly

GitHub logo Bearer / Pizzly

The simplest, fastest way to integrate your app with an OAuth API 😋

What's the challenge during Hacktoberfest? We aim to reach 100 APIs readily available for Pizzly developers. Including new ones such as Soundcloud, Mailchimp, Pagerduty, Pipedrive, etc.

Why helping that project? Pizzly is an API Integration Manager. It helps developers use APIs at a faster path and in a much more reliable way. Consider Google Sheets API, it takes x10 fewer minutes with Pizzly than doing it on your own (source).

Where to start? 👉 Look at the issues opened specially for the event. Happy hacking!
