Taking notes on the fly


Have you ever needed to take notes but there was no pen and paper around? well i've started woking on a web app that does exactly that. WebNotes is a very small and simple tool that lets you take notes on any web browser, without any of the fancy and complicated tools and settings. The application is not supposed to be the best or have the most features but more of a backup app when all else fails and you just need to take some notes.



The app uses the BSD-2 licence so anyone can use it or modify it to fit their needs. For now the application will automatically save your work and load any notes that you've written before. To save you the trouble of remembering to save, the app will save your work for you every 10 seconds and will display a message showing the last successful save time stamp.

Hacktoberfest is just around the corner

With Hacktoberfest only a few days away, it's never been a better time to get involved in the open source community and be part of the hackathon. The Hacktoberfest team is even giving away prizes for participants, so there really isn't any reason for anyone not to join. This event is a great opportunity for beginners and experienced programmers to get involved and actually contribute on real open source projects that are being used in the industry. The main tools we will be using is Github,  and with my limited experience i knew that i needed to set some goals for my self to try and improve my skill. Just like anything else, the best way to get better at anything is to practice as much as possible. By the end of this event id like be confident enough to be able to file issues and bugs on projects that i like and actually try and fix those problems my self in such a way that my pull requests will get accepted. Id also like to try and expand my knowledge on different programmi

Finding issues by accident

With Hacktoberfest almost over, it's time to submit the last pull request to qualify for the prize. Thats easier said than done because as the final submission day gets closer, the harder it is to make a meaningful pull request with such short time constraints. After searching for about 3 hours trying to find an open issue that i could handle within the given time, i realized that i might have been better off just choosing one of the simpler ones and actually finishing it.  In search for the "perfect" issue, i had cloned multiple repos in hopes that i could get one of them working so i could start trying to replicate the issue and fixing it. One of the repos that i cloned was for an iPhones application, for the popular card game, "Cards Against Humanity". As i was fiddling around with the app, i noticed that some of the text would not show up on my phone but worked fine when the app was running on a simulator on my computer. As much as i hate to admit this, i

Filing issues and pull requests using git hub

Have you ever wanted to more involved in the open source community but just didn't know where to start? have you ever been intimidated by git hub and how to use it? Well getting started with and contributing to the open source community has never been easier, especially when using github. Today i'm going to make a step by step tutorial on how to contribute to any open source project you'd like. You don't need to be the best programmer in the world to contribute, technically you don't even need to know ANY programming at all to contribute to a project. For our example today i'll be fixing a very small spelling error in a project. For the purposes of this tutorial I will only be going over the steps on how to use github to file issues and making pull request. Filing Issues: After you've found a project that you'd like to contribute to, you can click on the "issue" tab at the top of the repository page and click the green "New issue"
