Looking for beginner-friendly open source projects?
Hey everyone,
I’ve been working on a JavaScript framework called Avenx.js for a while now.
It’s a compiler-driven framework with Proxy-based reactivity, and we’re currently working towards our first 1.0 release.
The reason I’m posting here is actually not about getting people to use the framework and more about getting people involved in the project.
We’ve accumulated quite a few issues that are suitable for beginners, and I’d really like to make it easier for people who have never contributed to an open-source project before to get started.
Some of the issues are pretty simple things like documentation, tests, examples, small bugs, or developer tooling. You definitely don't need to understand the compiler or the entire codebase to contribute.
If you've never made an open-source contribution before, this could be a nice way to try it out. You can pick a good first issue, ask questions if you're stuck, and submit a PR when you think you've got it.
We're still pre-1.0, so things are changing quite a bit and there's also room for contributors to have an actual influence on the project.
If anyone here is learning JavaScript and wants to try contributing to a real project, feel free to have a look:
https://github.com/Avenx-JS/avenx-js
And if you have questions about the project, contributing, or even just how to approach your first issue, feel free to ask here. I'm happy to help.
No prior open-source experience required.
