Hacktoberfest2023 VS good-first-issue

You're probably a little late for Hackoberfest this year.

A few days ago, I made my Final Pull Request for this year's Hacktoberfest event, and it seems to be a perfect timing for publishing a recap of the entire experience.

One of the most exciting celebrations of open source is Hacktoberfest, an annual event held throughout October that brings together developers from around the globe to contribute to open-source projects.

Hacktoberfest is happening and I see a lot of really cool movements, like articles here on Dev and in the community on Discord! (And that's really cooooll)

I’m proud of the ctfd-account-hook project and I welcome contributions to it! I’m participating in Hacktoberfest, so you can get badges for getting pull requests accepted.

Hacktoberfest is an annual event that encourages open-source contributions on platforms like GitHub by submitting four pull requests. It's a valuable opportunity for collaborative coding and gaining experience.

Finding machine learning projects that are suitable for JS/TS developers during Hacktoberfest can be daunting due to the overwhelming abundance of open-source projects. We’ve simplified this process, offering you a refined selection of opportunities where your coding skills can shine and make a real impact.

First Contributions, EddieHub Issue Finder, goodfirstissue.dev, goodfirstissues.com, firsttimersonly.com.

https://goodfirstissue.dev might be a great place to check :)

Another source is mentor feedback, somebody who tells you he thinks you can do it, some projects seem more open to new contributors, search good first issue, if you will open an issue saying you are willing to commit to say 1-2h a week for a year i believe you will get help.

Good First Issue

Good First Issue website curates the issues with good first issue tag from various open-source projects and displays them with a nice and clean UI.

If that doesn't work, get on https://socialcoder.org/Home/Index or contribute to an open source project - https://goodfirstissue.dev/.

You can also use websites like up-for-grabs, goodfirstissue, or CodeTriage to find projects with open issues. Find one that looks easy or interesting to you and comment on it, asking if you can take a shot at it.
