Over 20 PR’s after 4th Vue Storefront hackathon. The Hackathon Season is open!
Last Friday (18th of Jan) was a Hack Day for Vue Storefront Community. Contributors from Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, Sweden, and the UK met to work together on developing new features and refactoring.
More than 30 folks gathered in the Divante’s office in Wrocław + about 84 attendees joining us remotely via Slack. It was the biggest VS Hackathon so far.
It started with the brief Introduction to Vue Storefront Development training.
During the day there were about 20 Pull Requests accepted including:
- HotJar Integration,
core/storerefactoring by Łukasz Romanowicz @lukeromanowicz - SSR page reloading fixes by Kacper Wierzbicki @vue-kacper
- Docs updates by Marta Radziszewska @martaradziszewska and Piotrek Jabłoński @jablpiotrek
- Support for regional characters in URL keys by Damian Fiałkiewicz @aekal
- Special prices fix by Bartek Igielski @igloczek
- Accessibility features implemented by Anna Karoń @anqaka
- Plus many more — please just check the full list
THANK YOU!
The event showed once again that the community gathered around Vue Storefront is incredibly open and friendly.
The official slack channel became primary communication channel and many developers joined hackathon remotely. Divante, along with other core contributors — Develo Design, Snowdog and Virtua — coordinated necessary works, but also encouraged to opening new topics. Newcomers had unique opportunity to learn Vue.js and Vue Storefront basics directly from core contributors and proved that motivation empowers skills.
