Announcing my first Python package, "three"!
Three months ago I started a simple and silly weekend project - three.py, a repo focusing on the greatness of the number 3. Eager to try something new, I bundled it as a python package and submitted it to PyPi (the Python Package Index). I was excited, but also stumped on what else to add. As a result, the project laid dormant for months without any commits - collecting dust and cobwebs. However, all that changed with Hacktoberfest 2020!
Inspired by all the great open source contributions I was seeing, I decided to create a “call to action” issue for three.py. It included the labels “hacktoberfest”, “good first issue”, and “help wanted”. I figured I would be lucky to get one Pull Request for the month. To my disbelief, in less than 2 hours, several developers - all more creative than me - began submitting awesome Pull Requests!
I am blown away by the support my goofy little project is getting. I am having a ton of fun reviewing PRs and learning new python code. I encourage anyone who has an open source project to promote it! You might be surprised to see others wanting to help out and grow together.
