Contributing to an online open project – Choosing Strudel


The project I decided to contribute to is called Strudel. It is web based platform based on the software Tidal. It allows the user to do live music coding in browser. The language the project is using is JavaScript. I decided to contribute to this project as I am passionate about music and combining it with different technologies. I have not had the chance to use this type of live music coding tool before, so I thought this will be a great opportunity to experiment with it. It would also give me the opportunity to understand how the code works. When I first opened the website it looked a bit intimidating and I was very intrigued by how the code works, how it is split, what type of packages they have used etc. I really enjoyed using Strudel and experimenting with it before contributing to it. 

My first problem was when I was forking the repository on my laptop. I had a lot of issues with downloading the Npm package. After spending a long time debugging that I finally managed to have my own copy of the repository. After that it was time for me to choose an issue.
