Another great week! We had 20 contributions and the average score was almost 38.
Comparing with previous weeks the average score is a bit lower but as we said many times this is because the number of contributions. More contributions = Lower average score.

The most active moderators this week were @syedumair and @sinem006.

Common mistakes and how to fix them


source

The aim of this section is to show you the most common mistakes found this week. Followed by a short description and tips when applicable. Usually, I split the section in two: Contributions with a score of 25 or less and Contributions with a score of 50 or less.

1 - Contributions with a score of 25 or less

1.1 The suggested idea is duplicated

This is not easy to spot, so do not rush and take few minutes to check it.
Go to the repository of the project and check the Issues Tracker.
Remove the is:open filter from the search field (to look for open and closed issues).
Write a word (or two). The keyword(s) of the feature(s) you are going to submit.
After that, look at if someone submitted it on Utopian in the past, you can use this great tool made by @crokkon.

1.2 The overall presentation of the post is below the average and/or the suggested features do not add significant value

The formatting, language and overall presentation of Utopian posts is important, a good and well formatted post is easy to read and understand. Check this post made by @espoem. Also, I recommend you to read @didic's comments
Always submit original and detailed features that add value to the project. This is not mandatory but highly appreciated, these kind of suggestions usually have a high score.

2 - Contributions with a score of 50 or less

2.1 - The impact on the functionality and usability of the project is low

If the overall of your post is excellent, but your idea has little impact on the functionality and/or usability of the project or could be achieved in a easy way, you will get a few point less. Try to suggest unique, original and useful features.

2.2 - The quality of the mockups/images could be better

Mockups are really useful to explain an idea. We (and most of the users) are not Graphic designers. We do not expect high quality images, but few details would transform a poor mockup in a great one. We have excellent graphic designers in our community, use our Discord server, share your images, ask for help. They will guide you to improve your mockups.


Interesting open source projects

This is another well-written weekly report from you.

I appreciate the tips you regularly provide for users in every report. I believe they are helping most users to improve. The contest is also getting hot with only 11days left in the month. Those guys really need to work hard to reach the top spot, and I wish them all good luck. Last, I am pleased to see the stability in the inflows of contributions to the category.

Thanks for providing the weekly. Have a nice weekend!
