    • First : profile page : goal Your goal is to make 4 PRs, so you can see 4 svg there.
    • Then : stats You can see here the avatar, and your PRs stats. For me, i submitted one PR that's why you can see 1 PR in progress.
    • Then, you can see your contributions : contributions Here, once you submit a PR you can see it.

If your PR is merged, you will see the "Matures in 14 days".

If not, you will see the error message.

Contributing : Tips

  • Wait for merge and ask the maintainer to give your PR the hacktoberfest-accepted label

  • Now, you can go back to your hacktoberfest profile, and you will see your first contribution !

Happy Hacktoberfest! We invite you to contribute NocoDB.

NocoDB is an open source Airtable alternative.

NocoDB works by connecting to any relational database and transforming them into a smart spreadsheet interface! This allows you to build no-code applications collaboratively with teams. NocoDB currently works with MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, SQLite, Amazon Aurora & MariaDB databases.

Also NocoDB's app store allows you to build business workflows on views with combination of Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Twilio, Whatsapp, Email & any 3rd party APIs too. Plus NocoDB provides programmatic access to APIs so that you can build integrations with Zapier / Integromat and custom applications too.
