For a lot of developers the first pull request to an open-source project can be the most intimidating one. It often gets even more intimidating if it is your very first pull request to open source in general. For that reason we decided this year to create the Open Pixel Art project with the aim to teach people how to create their first pull request. Today we are happy to have reached a first big milestone with the project.
Thank you for all your contributions!
In the first 4 weeks of the project over 1000 developers have gotten their pull requests merged into the Open Pixel Art project.
A lot of them did not stop by contributing a pixel to the canvas, they added new functionality that let you rearrange pixels on the canvas.
They added various translations of the contributing guides to make it easier for people to contribute whose primary language is not English.
Others improved the project by improving the tests, filing bugs, helping others, spotting typos and other crucial tasks in any open-source project.
Whether you contributed a pixel to the canvas, or contributed to the project in another way, we at Twilio really appreciate your contribution and are excited to be part of your journey in the world of open source. Thank you!
