I wanted to make a special shout-out to one of our most impactful contributors, Mostafa Forouji – While he was refactoring the entire Onlook codebase to make it more robust, he noticed we didn't have a light mode for our users. Without even asking, he went and replaced all of our design tokens and implemented a dark / light mode toggle. And the result was incredible – Normally we'd have to comb through and do a thorough review of all of the variables to make sure that they were on-brand, but his suggestions (whether he did intentionally or not) made me rethink how we can bring a light brand into our product. When I asked why he did it, he said it was because he felt like designers would want a way to design in light mode and it was as simple as that. It's this kind of user empathy that continues to impress me from our developer community. If you're looking for a great engineer, reach out to him: https://lnkd.in/eya5MydP As for his implementation?

?? Hacktoberfest 2024 Completed! ?? This year's Hacktoberfest was once again a fruitful and rewarding experience. Participating in this global open-source initiative has become one of my favorite yearly traditions, and 2024 was no exception! Not only did I get the chance to contribute to open-source projects, but I also had the pleasure of discovering some interesting and innovative projects—one standout being Onlook, a tool that really caught my attention and I want you guys to go and give it a look. Every year, this experience leaves me feeling satisfied and inspired, knowing that I've contributed to something bigger than myself. Whether you're a seasoned contributor or a newcomer, I highly recommend giving Hacktoberfest a try next year! The open-source community is always welcoming, and there’s no better way to grow as a developer. check my holopin profile here : https://holopin.me/onsbk #hacktoberfest #OpenSource #Onlook #YearlyTradition #DeveloperJourney #Hacktoberfest2024
