public-apis VS freeCodeCamp

For inspirations on what type of agents I should build, I turned to the Public APIs GitHub repository which has a curated lists of free APIs. I narrowed my search for an API that does not require sign-up or an API key and returns useful information. I ultimately decided to use the Free Currency Exchange Rates API, which seemed promising upon some basic testing.

Public-Apis Github Repo — A list of free public APIs.

Interesting thread at https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis/issues/3104

Use curl to access a free public API and get a random joke, cat fact, or whatever.

I remember the forking of https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis and the long git issue discussions. The company owning the repository stopped maintaining it but didn't give up control either. Over the years you've put in a lot of work in publicapis.dev and that is much appreciated.

Also, that isn't really a list of "contributors", but of "organisations with the most stars". Those are different things.

For example "public-apis"[1] didn't "contribute" anything as that's not a person, and looking at GitHub[2] there are a bunch of substantial contributors (the person who created the organisation/repo only has 12 commits by the way);

Move the confetti logic to the related redux-saga #51908

I started open source software development a few months into my last internship, after one of my colleagues suggested it. When I made my first open source contribution, I realized how much of an impact I could create with this work, especially because of the size of the org I contributed to. My first PR was a feature that I added to the freeCodeCamp codebase; this repo has the highest number of stars on GitHub! I made this contribution in October, and to my surprise, I got an email in December informing me that I was one of the top contributors of 2022 to the freeCodeCamp codebase because of this contribution! I was elated and the sense of satisfaction that I got from this feat was something that I had not experienced before. freeCodeCamp was also the first open source community I was a part of, interacting with the maintainers in their Discord server daily to get my PRs merged and learn more about the codebase!
