Follow me in an open source rabbit hole, from simple to more complex contributions.

You might be thinking:

"Open source can be intimidating: long pull requests, complex subjects... Where do I start?"

Follow me on a journey to a contribution on Bevy game engine and its ecosystem:

  • At first I wanted my users to input an email on my app: I couldn't input "@".

  • Then I wanted to paste a one-time password: I couldn't paste on web.

That's where open source truly shines! Let's follow the trail and make things better.

I jumped into rabbit holes, fixing stuff along the way, ending up updating an important bevy dependency.

Open source can be intimidating, but there's no magic, and you can help too!
