When I first wrote some HTML with VS Code, I noticed built-in help references MDN's web API docs. I was curious about it and started to read some articles. Then I found that MDN Web Docs is an open-source project, and we can conveniently improve the documentation. I started contributing to the project, from fixing typos to translating articles.

MDN Web Docs has built the most extensive documentation site about web technologies. People can start from scratch and learn almost everything they need for web development.
What contribution stands out to you (or is your favorite)?
Now, I mainly contribute to the translation content. Localization of Web docs is very beneficial for readers from different countries. Working with the grateful MDN Web Docs team, I could learn more about web development.
