Hacktoberfest 2025
Blog post from Resend
Open-source projects play a crucial role in the digital landscape, and Hacktoberfest is an annual celebration that encourages contributions to these projects. Resend, rooted in open source, developed React Email in 2022 to simplify building modern email templates using React and TypeScript, with 174 developers contributing to its success. Hacktoberfest invites participants to engage by submitting pull requests, with incentives like digital badges and t-shirts for early contributors. For contributions to be considered high-quality, participants should seek approved tasks, use AI responsibly, and clearly communicate their changes. Resend encourages contributions not only to React Email but also to other supported projects like Tailwind, caniemail, and input-otp, emphasizing the importance of understanding project structures and guidelines.
