I recently built a website to help myself and other developers find open source projects to contribute to. I love open source, but it can sometimes be tricky to find projects that I want to dedicate my time to.

If you’re interested, feel free to check it out and let me know what you think.

Thankyou, as someone who's done hobbyist programming and wants to switch into it as a career, I was looking for something like this. My work computer is blocking it since it's an unknown site, but I'll have a look at it some time when I'm at home.

No problem! Contributing to open source projects is a great way to build your skills and prepare you for professional software development.

It allows you to contribute to a product that is used by many people in production and have your code reviewed by talented and experienced developers.

That is definitely something many employers will like to see.

Let me know if there's anything I can help with.
