Every contribution is invaluable to us as maintainers.īefore we continue with the rest of the blog post: thank you. Although source code commits are always the most visible contributions, we also have to acknowledge the effort of folks who report bugs, maintain userland modules, provide documentation and translations, and participate in the Electron community across cyberspace. We would not be here today without everyone who has dedicated their time and effort to contribute to the project.
This milestone is the perfect opportunity to celebrate and reflect on our journey so far, and to share what we’ve learned along the way.
