Process #4: Start of the coding work
After getting assigned, I started getting set up to test the code on local and work on the issue.
I forked the project and followed the readme file provided to have is running locally and I have been testing some things.
There was a bit of panic because the project uses typescript and react.js and I have never worked with this before. I should have thought about this before requesting the issue but it’s also a good way to learn. This is something I will be more careful about in the future.
I was assigned with another person that wanted to work on the issue. We started getting organised on how to work together. we found each other on the projects discord and got to know each other.
The task is to improve some UI from the website, mainly CSS. In the end it is not as scary as I thought it would be.
The collaboration is a very interesting experience, my next step is to get to work together.
