This is really interesting, great to read about a project that started in a slightly earlier period. Did you want just to share this with HN or to go up on the website? (Happy to put it up if so, I think a lot of people would find this inte

A referral scheme and a pyramid scheme are very different things. A pyramid scheme is where revenues derived from recruiting people into the scheme exceed revenues from sales of the end product. Because people further up the pyramid make co

Thanks, I'll look it up for comparison. What was it that you learned from them if you don't mind me asking?

Yep, those are fair points. For documentation (and for other things) it would be better to be able to search on that directly by e.g. looking for projects that have open issues around documentation. Will try and add these soon, I've ju

Projects are found using the GitHub API, searching for projects first on whether they have issues labelled for new contributors and then also by language, topics, etc. After that you can write a bit more code to get metrics like percentage

Ah I should have added that - email me on emile@sourcesort.com. I know your project too! Would be cool to learn more about it.

Hi there, I actually found most of the projects either here on HN or on GitHub explore, and a few of them I thought of because I used the projects myself (e.g. Brian of node-postgres). Quite a lot of developers put their email address on th

Which niche are you in if you don't mind me asking? It's only been a few months of me trying to get more involved in open source myself and I'm still trying to understand better how these ecosystem/communities work.

Hey, "editor" here. When I started working as a developer a few years ago, I barely considered that there were people devoting their free or paid time to all of the open source software I depended on. Of course, every piece of sof

No, because you don't have full control. I've just started using Ghost and it's pretty good. The self hosted version was extremely easy to set up on DigitalOcean, or you can go with the hosted version and get a few advantages

I tried a couple of weeks ago but it went nowhere :( I think repeat submissions are allowed for relevant projects that didn't get any traction on here so I'll try again soon.

I used the GitHub API search endpoint to find them and some extra code to filter them - searching for projects last updated more than 3 months ago with more than 5 open issues and more than 2/3 of open issues having had no response fro

I started putting together a list here: https://www.sourcesort.com/zombies . Only a few projects on there at the moment though. I found projects which had 10 or more unresponded issues created since the project was last upda

Not quite sure what you're asking for here. What does "given an API will discover it" mean exactly?

Not all employers will go out of their way to look at GitHub - often it's just not a clear signal either way. If you have very strong contributions though it can certainly help you stand out. Here's some open source AI projects lo

Are you looking to do work or give money? If the former, I recommend having a look at GitHub's open source guide ( https://opensource.guide/how-to-contribute/ ) and then finding a project to start contributing too.

Creator here. I made this after looking for an open source project to start contributing to in order to improve my skills. While GitHub lets you find new projects by language or stars, it doesn't make it easy to find projects according
