didact-engine VS good-first-issue

I think part of that issue today are monorepos. They are super convenient and I may end up using them for my open source .NET job orchestrator, Didact, but they are overwhelming to look at a lot of times - and I’ve been in the field for yours. I used to get so frustrated with web dev in particular a few years ago, never understood what the heck I was looking at.

In particular, I’m building an open source .NET/C# job orchestrator called Didact. It’s taken a lot of inspiration from Apache Airflow and Prefect over in the Python world. It isn’t finished yet, hoping to have a rough v1 ready after the new year.

I’m building an open source .NET/C# job orchestration platform called Didact. I have a landing page for the site, and right now each piece of my architecture is in its own, separate repo on GitHub.

I'm building an open source .NET job orchestration platform called Didact. It's not so much a library like the options above, but more like a complete, independent platform to run on its own. I'm including a REST API/execution engine, a modern-looking web dashboard UI (similar to Hangfire), and a few other things.

You could make something open source if you want. Nice way to build your resume and establish a reputation for yourself. Who knows, you could even try to live off of it one day. That’s what I’m attempting with my new open source platform, Didact, which is a brother of Apache Airflow for .NET/C#. You can find some cool stories about this on IndieHackers.com.

I’m building a job orchestrator for dotnet/csharp called Didact (website is almost done, but here is my main GitHub repo: https://github.com/DidactHQ/didact-engine).

I’ve got a few GitHub repos for it, here is the main one: https://github.com/DidactHQ/didact-engine

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/.
