Introduction
Hey Everyone, I hope you're doing extremely well. So, this Blog is about my Journey to KWoC '22, Which projects I have contributed to and my learnings from KWoC. KWoC is the month-long Coding Competition Conducted by the Kharagpur Open Source Society(KOSS) for getting students who are new to Open Source and encouraging them to prepare for Big Programs like GSOC which is Google Summer of Code.
My Keen Interest is in Frontend Development so I selected the projects related to that to upskill and learn by contributing to different projects. So, here are some of the projects that I have contributed to:
Projects
This is my first contribution to the KWoC '22 and I have created a Scroll to Top Button in the project using HTML, CSS and Javascript. I learned a lot from this project and the mentor was also so supportive and helped me throughout my contribution.
So in this contribution, I faced the same problem of scrolling upwards again and again so I raised an issue regarding whether can I create a scroll to Top Button which can help in scrolling so anyone does not have to scroll again and again. The mentor assigned the issue to me and helped me with the corrections I made to the website.
This project is related to Replacing the text input with the select tag in HTML and adding the city's name to check the weather. Here I learned the most things and mentors helped me throughout the contribution like how to search cities' weather from Postman API and add them to the project. The mentors were really helpful and guided me throughout the contribution.
This is the project to which I contributed after the end of mid-evaluation. Here I have added my Javascript project named Javascript Quiz App and the mentors found this helpful so they assigned the issue to me. Here the mentors played a big role in maintaining the project and communicating with the contributors.
This is the last project I have contributed to KWoC where I added the Dark Mode feature in the website. I have learned how to create a Dark Mode and made the required changes to the website.
