So a couple of days back, I started learning about Progressive Web Apps (PWA) and how they make your web app a standalone desktop application and sort of like an android application. I was really intrigued by the whole concept. I knew about PWAs before but I have never experimented with them. And this time, I decided to do just that.

Just when I thought VSCode can't surprise me anymore, it came out of the closet with something awesome & shocked me again. Did you folks know VSCode offers a Command Line Interface (CLI) that lets you do a bunch of amazing VSCode stuff right inside your terminal.
VS Code Marketplace offers more than 15k+ extensions to the developers. These extensions save tons of hours & make the VS sCode developer experience more & more impressive. All of these extensions are open-source which means you can contribute to any of your favorite extensions.
I am going to kickstart this article by first introducing myself & then why I am writing this article. If you guys already know about me then you can just skip to the next paragraph.

Last year, I dived into a new tradition of writing the Year in Reviews to reflect upon what I was up to the whole year. I found this practice quite productive as it helped me to see the difference between my a-year-old self and my current self. So, if you are interested in reading about my 2018 version, click here otherwise, keep reading. I hope it will be as interesting for you to read as it was for me to experience. Now without any further ado, let's jump right in!
In July of 2019, I was selected as the Lead of the first Developer Student Clubs at my campus. Those of you who have no idea about what the Developer Student Clubs are and what we do, we are a bunch of Google Student Developer communities in Pakistan.
This day can not get any better. I have been selected for the role of Lead at Developer Student Club. I can now create a developer community in my university which will be directly affiliated with Google. Isn't it awesome!?
