An OPEN LETTER to all the contributors

[vinitshahdeo]

Dear Friend, 👋

Hoping this letter finds you well and safe; you, your family and your loved ones!

😷 👪 🏠

Together we are facing an unprecedented time that is affecting all of our community, our families, and our way of life. As the nation battles to curb the impact of the coronavirus, our one and only responsibility right now is to stay safe and practice social distancing.

Social Distancing and dealing with Coronavirus boredom is getting really tough. Now that India is under complete lockdown, isolation boredom is making normal people do crazy things. If you're out of ideas on how to keep your mind occupied too, checkout other open-source projects, learn something which you always wanna learn but didn’t get time so far. This is the time; turn your self-isolation into self-improvement.

Two weeks ago, I have hacked COVID-19 Tracker. Do check out this and consider leaving a star here (to be open-sourced soon). ⭐ 🌟 ⭐

I thank all of you for your contributions to stepping up this project towards its goals and mission. Special thanks to all the mentors for your constructive feedback and suggestions - @ShreyaAnand @amaaniqbal @jainpawan21 @PragatiVerma18 @ArpitKotecha @ramanaditya @YashMeh @Manvityagi

🎉 🔥 🚀

We will bounce back from this pandemic together and no matter what, we will always keep open-sourcing and making the open-source space more and more awesome.

Thank you for your continued support. I am so grateful to each of you. ❤️
