• Title: be as descriptive as possible and try to make it catchy 
• Images: upload all images that support the article to the repository. Keep an eye on the image size and use tools like Squoosh or TinyPNG to compress them.

• Structure: we recommend following this structure

To publish your content, fork this repo and submit a PR with the following changes:

• All your content must be created in a subfolder inside the corresponding category (coding-articles, info-articles or other-articles). Follow the kebab-case naming convention (eg "my-awesome-article").
• The code must be created inside a code subfolder. There must be a README.md file with instructions to install dependencies, run the code, etc.
• All images must be stored inside an images subfolder.
• An Article.md file must be created with the article itself.
• An About.md file must be created with information about you, your portfolio/website and social media profiles that you would like us to include.

Example:

/coding-articles/my-awesome-tutorial
/About.md
/Article.md
/images/
