Git Begin: A web app to find & track your first open-source contributions. Filter GitHub's "good first issues" by language, stars and categories like Web Dev, ML, DevOps. Bookmark interesting issues. Dark mode included. Start your open-source journey today
I've just launched Git Begin, a web app that helps developers find their first open-source issues to work on.
What Git Begin does:
Finds "good first issues" on GitHub
Filters by programming language, project stars, and other criteria
Covers various fields: Web Dev, Mobile Dev, Data Science, ML, DevOps, Cybersecurity, and Documentation
Lets you bookmark issues for later
Works in light or dark mode
I built Git Begin with Remix.js, React, and Tailwind CSS. It's designed to work well on both desktop and mobile.
I made this because finding the right issues to start contributing to open source can be challenging. If you're looking to contribute to open source, or if you maintain a project and want to attract new contributors, Git Begin might be useful for you.
Feel free to try it out and let me know what you think. All feedback is welcome.

Great tool for beginners! Would love to see small UI tweaks like the logo of the organizations and expandable ReadMe for the projects to find out what they are about quickly. Otherwise I would have to click through GitHub, leave the site and come back to it many times. Beginners probably also want one of their first projects to be something they find interesting or enjoy helping to build rather than simply an easy issue that fits framework/ language criteria.
@franckwebpro Thank you so much for your appreciation π

This is useful, as someone who uses GitHub daily I always wanted to contribute but never really found a project that made sense, I will explore on here for sure.
This app is going to make a huge difference for new contributors in the open-source community. Excited to see how this can help many developers kickstart their open-source journey! Keep up the great work!
