I was very keen to test out what open-source contributors could do, and just for testing, I uploaded a couple of HTML files with two blank files, i.e. style.css and script.js along with it in a repository with a label of "HacktoberFest". I had nothing on my head and was just curious to see what could happen. The HTML file had a basic functioning of a weather app that tells you the current weather of a named city. </p> <p>Today this project has achieved a height from its root, which I could have never imagined solely. All thanks to the contributors for making this project achieve this height.</p> <p>repo link - <a href="https://github.com/R0Y15/WeatherNow" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/R0Y15/WeatherNow</a></p> devchallenge hacktoberfest opensource
