Celebrating PRIDE month we created an inclusivity checker that lets you add text and be presented with inclusive words to use.

For some reason I don’t show up as a contributor GitHub repo page – I don’t know why and I was a tad annoyed it wasn’t sorted out but there you have it. The video shows I did something!

As I only joined the course end April and started learning in the first week of May I didn’t know enough to contribute to coding but I created the images and the README file, plus I gave loads of suggestions. I also came up with the name of the team.

The July hackathon started yesterday and I am once again in the same position, too new to contribute to the code (most people are on Project 4 and beyond) because I haven’t covered React or any of the other tools yet.
