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.

Well done on the release! You’ve turned an idea into reality—what an incredible accomplishment.

This sounds like a super handy tool for anyone looking to get into open-source! Just gave it a quick try and it looks promising. Congrats to u ,Sahi!

Great idea! I love the simple UI. Congrats on the launch 🚀

Good idea, as a young developper I don't dare to contribute to unknown project, and I think I'm not the only one ! congrats for the launch!

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.

I wish something like this had been around when I first started out. You've got my upvote!

Amazing work on Git Begin! The dark mode and mobile-friendly design are great touches. Looking forward to exploring the app! 🌟

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!

Congrats on launching Git Begin, @sahil38! This is such an awesome tool for those looking to dive into open source contributions. The filtering options by language and category are super helpful. I love that you've included dark mode—it's a nice touch for late-night coding! Finding the right "good first issues" can definitely be daunting, and your app seems like it will make the process so much smoother. Definitely excited to give it a try and bookmark some issues. Looking forward to seeing how it evolves! Keep up the great work!

Congrats on launching Git Begin, @sahil38! 🎉 This is exactly what the community needs to help developers dive into open-source contributions. The filtering by language and project stars is a game changer for those new to the space. Plus, the bookmarking feature means no more losing track of interesting issues! Using Remix.js, React, and Tailwind CSS is a smart choice for both performance and design. It's great to see such thoughtful tools being created to simplify the onboarding process for new contributors. Can't wait to explore the app and start my open-source journey! Here’s to making contributions more accessible and enjoyable. Upvoting this for sure! 🚀

Awesome launch! Git Begin sounds like a great tool for anyone looking to dive into open source. The filtering features will definitely help users find issues that match their skill set.

Hey Sahil, How do you determine which issues are truly suitable for beginners, given the wide range of project complexities out there? Have you considered adding any features to help users track their progress or get guidance as they work on their first issues? Congrats on the launch!
