Today, Jetpack 8.5 was released. The highlight of this release was the introduction of podcast player block. You can read the release post on the Jetpack Blog.
My Contribution
My contribution has nothing to do with the podcast player block. It was also unplanned. I used the Recipe shortcode provided by Jetpack on a blog post for a friend and noticed something that could have been improved. I scanned the code for the Recipe shortcode and found the lines that needed a change.
I went on creating an issue in the GitHub repository and then submitted a code change (Pull Request). Jetpack developers were kind enough to review and approve the code change request I submitted. It was slated for Jetpack 8.5.
🥰 Today, I can say that I am an open-source contributor. If you have a WordPress powered site, I recommend trying out the Jetpack plugin.
