How to add personal uses page to uses.tech

  1. Go to the uses.tech page and scroll to the bottom. Where you'll find a link to GitHub
  2. From Github you need to login to your acount
  3. Then you need to create a fork from wesbos / awesom-uses to your account
  4. open awesome-uses repo in your account
  5. Open src and then data.js
  6. Add user to data.js
  7. create a pull request
  8. Hope that it works!!! I haven't had any success.

I guess they assume you know what you're doing. Because there is little to no help in figuring this out. The website only has a link to Github. From there I spent way too much time reading trying to figure it out. I sent 3 PR's and 2 failed. I don't know what's happening with the 1st one. It still says it's pending. Perhaps I did everything wrong 🤷‍♂️.
