portfolio-ideas VS Gallery-Media

Additional assistance and recourse came from studying other open source projects and developers repositories. For example, while searching GitHub, I found the frontend developer, open source developer & technical writer Victor Eke. Of the many open source projects that he has assisted with and created, I used his repository Portfolio Ideas to get ideas on the structure of documentation and, in additionally, reading his blog article “How my open source project got 1000 stars on GitHub in 4 months” on what he did to surpass the 1,000 stars on his open source project. I also studied one of the most popular stared first-contributions repositories (which has over 37,000 stars) for the excellent structure of the documentation. And lastly, to add more visual interest to the documentation found throughout the Before I Die Code, I used the Animated Fluent Emojis open source project by Tarikul Islam Anik.

The beginning of this project I can credit the GitHub user Arash with sharing and building a React themed Gallery that I used as my starting point for building the Before I Die Code first version. I did this as I wasn’t able to find the exact photo gallery I wanted to have for this project without installing additional React libraries, and in the early phase of this project, I tried to limit using libraries for size purposes as well as to understand better the CSS and React JSX capabilities by themselves. Arash did a great job of building a Media Gallery that I could figure out how to operate and customize to this project.
