sweave··on Show HN : ContribHub – Find and contribute to opensource projects you care about
Hello all,

For Hacktoberfest, I built ContribHub, a platform to help developers find open-source projects to contribute to. Whether you're a beginner just exploring open source or an experienced developer looking for new challenges, ContribHub aims to make the search process easier.

What sets it apart is that the results are randomized, giving every project a fair chance to be discovered. As someone who maintains an open-source project, I know how tough it can be to find contributors and reach the right audience. This helps smaller or less well-known projects get noticed, which is especially useful for maintainers who are struggling to grow their community.

Many developers also prefer contributing to new or early-stage projects, where they can be part of something from the beginning. That's why the star filter is useful — it helps you find projects at different stages of growth.

Let me know what you think :), I'll be improving it and adding more features to make it even easier for maintainers to get discovered and for developers to find projects that truly resonate with them.

The project is still in early stages (pre-alpha) but there is areas where we think we can contribute : user experience, dev experience, new features & AI.

For example Collaboration can be great for teachers who want to collaborate live on documents (just like Google Docs), a Blocks-based editor (like Notion) would mean unlimited content possibilities not just multimedia content, AI search can help students grasp notions easily..

We would love to know if you have any ideas that you would want to see added to the roadmap ^^

Providing a better developer experience for people that want to develop on top of learnhouse or self-host it in something like Kubernetes & Cloud is a top priority too.

We're just laying the foundations of the LMS and we'll work on new features and guides soon, we would love to hear about some of your recommendations ^^

Thanks for your comment Jordan!

We're experimenting with headless usage, as you said it would be possible to embed or add a "Dynamic Page Player" or "Canva" to your custom website, the format would be a JSON file that can be passed to that element

Localization support is definitely on the roadmap !

Exactly, most alternatives on the market right now are not FOSS so I wanted to make sure it's clear that it's an open source alternative to Moodle (which is the most known FOSS lms)

I'm taking notes, yes it feels like SCORM is a must-have in the industry.

Also we always felt like no one really knows how to use Moodle & co, our teachers always struggled with the software and we did too!

Yes we'll use an ORM in the future so users can use their preferred database (sqlite for example), SQL Model by tiangolo & SQL Alchemy are great candidates!

We love Python for multiple reasons but one of the reasons we chose to stick with the language is fastapi & its ecosystem, it's really a joy to work with.

When I started the project I chose MongoDB for simplicity but a PostgreSQL rewrite is on the roadmap ;)

Lots of schools and LMSs still uses it, not on the roadmap yet but we'll see if it would make sense to implement it or not

Thanks a lot Daviey! We're working on improving the dev experience to make it even better
sweave··on Show HN: Modern Moodle learning platform open-source alternative
We do too and we know a lot of people do, that's why we wanted to change that ^^

Cloud SaaS version for now, but we'll experiment with different ideas
