**UPDATE: The program has ended.**
As you might already know **[Selenidium Element Inspector is an open-source Chrome extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/selenideium-element-inspe/mgfhljklijclnfeglclagdeoiknnmnda) with which test automation teams can save hours daily while they are automating tests via using [Selenide](https://selenide.org/), [Selenium](https://www.selenium.dev/), [Cypress](https://www.cypress.io/), [Playwright](https://playwright.dev/), [Squish](https://www.froglogic.com/squish/) and [TestCafe](https://testcafe.io/) frameworks.**

## The Backstory

In the last few days, **Selenideium had its first 2 contributions**.

The first one was a [bug report](https://github.com/mszeles/selenideium-element-inspector/issues/22) (yeah, bug reports are so important I also count them as contributions ) by [TheDevilOfJesters](https://github.com/TheDevilOfJesters) from Pittsburgh 10 days ago. He noticed the Options page showing "Selenium Java" 3 times instead of showing Selenium Java, Selenium Javascript and Selenium C#.

**Thanks again for the bug report Jester.** 🧡😊

I have to admit however I reacted quite quickly I did not start working on the bug as I was busy writing

1. [**My First Month on Hashnode - A Retrospection About Blogging on Hashnode Developer Journaling Platform by Miki Szeles**](https://dev.to/mszeles/my-first-month-on-hashnode-a-retrospection-about-blogging-on-hashnode-developer-journaling-platform-by-miki-szeles-1jl5-temp-slug-7943414)
2. [**Hashnode Weekly 004 by Miki Szeles**](https://dev.to/mszeles/hashnode-weekly-004-by-miki-szeles-5329)
3. [**The Mistery Of The Supposedly Red ❤ Emoji AKA The Story Of How I Became A Software Developer Detective To Debug The Internet**](https://dev.to/mszeles/the-mistery-of-the-supposedly-red-emoji-aka-the-story-of-how-i-became-a-software-developer-detective-to-debug-the-internet-4maa)

**All of them are related to software development and blogging, so I highly recommend checking them in case you have not done it yet.**

I did not consider the bug showstopper as you can figure out the real meaning of the options with a few clicks, so I left the source code untouched for a few days.

And that is the story, how the **second open-source contribution has happened as Jorge Romero submitted a bugfix in the form of a merge request** for it.

**Thanks, Jorge.** 🧡😊

As I am already **using** [**buymeacoffee.com**](https://www.buymeacoffee.com/mikiszeles) which is a **great solution to provide the option for my readers to support me** , I **decided to** [**buy a Coffee for Jorge**](https://www.buymeacoffee.com/jorchRL).

It is of course far from being paid as you would get paid for your daily job, but I remember how happy I was when [Maddy](https://twitter.com/Maddy_Onyehara) bought a coffee for me a few days ago. Thanks, Maddy. 🧡😊

In addition, to show my gratitude for the bugfix I also **wanted to show my gratitude to Jester for reporting the bug.** So I told him I would like to **buy a coffee for him** , but I am still waiting for his Buy Me a Coffee link. 😊

And that was the point when **the idea of the Selenideium Element Inspector Bounty Hunting Reward Program was born in my mind.** 😊

## The Selenideium Element Inspector Bounty Hunting Reward Program

The program is very simple. As soon as you **do one of the following, I will buy you a coffee:**

- **Report a valid bug**
- **Submit an approved feature request**
- **Fix a reported bug**
- **Implement an approved feature request**
- **Write an article about your experiences with Selenideium Element Inspector. In this case, you can be sure I will share your article on Twitter and LinkedIn too.**

## QA

**Q** : Can I get a ☕ for multiple bug reports?  
**A** : Sure, just make sure you submit them as separate issues.

**Q** : Can I get ☕ for fixing my own bug report/implement my own feature request?  
**A** : Sure. And in case you do that, I will buy 1 extra coffee for you.

**Q** : Can I get a ☕ in case I write negative things about Selenideium Element Inspector?  
**A** : Having one-two area of improvement mentioned is absolutely ok, but in case it is a completely negative article, then I won't pay a ☕ for it, but instead of that I offer you a 15 minutes long video call, so you can share your experience with me, based on which we can further improve Selenideium Element Inspector.

**Q** : What if I contribute a lot? Can I earn extra ☕?
