Community member of the month 🦸♂️
This month was busy. We saw a surge into overall contribution to the platform and the community. It seemed difficult to manage the increasing load in our core team.
But, Priyankar managed to handle our main ReactPlay repositories almost single-handedly and took Hacktoberfest 2023 to the success 🥳
We are featuring our very own Priyankar Pal for his outstanding contribution during October 2023.
