To find active popular open source projects?
How do you do it?
- skydhash 3y agoWord of mouth, organic exposure. I've only used github search only for a few time aside from quickly finding one of my repositories.
- ParetoOptimal 3y agoTypically github readme's are targeted at busy developers rather than beginner s as well. They also include a contributor guide so I can see how hackable some project I'm using is. I also prefer to use projects I wouldn't hate hacking on if forced to. So a PHP project has a much higher bar than aHaskell project. Github and other forges easily allow this approach.
- mihaic 3y agoI don't actively try to find active open source project, usually I stumble onto plenty of them from natural browsing/research for my own work That's why I was asking, why would you actively search for projects? To consider contributing or just out of curiosity?
