How does it help people?

yo teams helps developers kickstart their Teams extensibility projects by providing an easy way to create the first Teams App all the way to scaffolding a solution that can be deployed, scaled and maintained.

yo teams is continuously evolving based on feedback and real-world feedback and experience from the community.

Why are you a part of the M365 community?

Because I learn new stuff all the time - the benefits of a community is the diversity of different voices and opinions. This eventually makes me become better in what I do, and I hope that others learn from what I do.

What was you first community contribution?

My first true open source community contribution was in the form of a web part for SharePoint 2007/WSS 3.0, called the ChartPart
