🔖 About lazyCode

Taking into account every developer’s zeal to create a competitive coding/DSA repository that not just stands out from the crowd but leaves everyone gaping wide-mouthed with just a single glance, lazyCode will act as your go-to project by providing you with a website template that leaves anyone who looks at it awe-inspired.

🎯 Additional Information 🎯

  • Keeping beginners in mind and ensuring that young talented newcomers make notable contributions to their first open-source project, things have been kept simple for now. The project will be made using HTML, CSS and a modest amount of JavaScript.

🧑‍💻 Open-source contributions are a great way for developers to improve the software they rely upon, hone technical as well as soft skills and most importantly build experiences and communities that are cherished for a lifetime.

🎯 During the entire month of October 2021, all you have to do is open at least 4 pull requests. Complete the 2021 challenge and earn a limited edition T-shirt. You can even opt for having a tree 🌲 planted in your name instead of receiving t-shirt as swag in order to make Hacktoberfest 2021 more carbon neutral.
