Open Source Journey

I still am a newbie to Open Source contributions, but I'm glad I was able to fix some issues and make someone's project even better.

The problem Open Source Journey solves

  1. Completed all the modules under the Open Source and Git Challenge
  2. Got 1 PR merged where I fixed pen alignment issues for both mouse and touch (Draw-it-out, intermediate issue)
  3. Been working on another intermediate issue under the same project which I still haven't managed to complete (Adding eraser feature)

Challenges I ran into

Learning how git and github works was definitely a challenge. I also had no idea how HTML canvas worked, so it was a great learning experience. Trying to learn something by solving an issue related to it is an interesting, and in my case, an effective approach. Also, I learnt the importance of well-written and well-documented code. It took some time to figure out the root of the issue, but once I figured it out, it was easy.
