Are there any open source Elixir projects that I could help with as a beginner?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/elixir

Our great sponsors
  • SonarQube - Static code analysis for 29 languages.
  • Mergify - Updating dependencies is time-consuming.
  • InfluxDB - Collect and Analyze Billions of Data Points in Real Time
  • tournamap

    Website to visualize Smash Ultimate tournaments near you

    The tiny (we're talking less than a hundred lines) bit of backend logic for my smash tournament locator project is open source if you're looking for something really small to start with: https://github.com/perrycate/tournamap

  • wasmCloud

    wasmCloud allows for simple, secure, distributed application development using WebAssembly actors and capability providers.

    The wasmCloud project (https://wasmcloud.dev) has a number of areas where people can contribute. As someone else said, you can filter on "good first issue" to get an idea for what needs doing.

  • SonarQube

    Static code analysis for 29 languages.. Your projects are multi-language. So is SonarQube analysis. Find Bugs, Vulnerabilities, Security Hotspots, and Code Smells so you can release quality code every time. Get started analyzing your projects today for free.

  • notifiex

    A dead simple Elixir library for sending notifications to various messaging services. (supports file uploads, multiple notification dispatching, and much more! ✨) (by notifiex)

    I don't want to advertise my project here again, but I feel that it would be great if someone could develop plugins for Notifiex (https://github.com/notifiex/notifiex), or could fix beginner-friendly issues!

  • pathex

    Fastest tool to access data in Elixir

    One concrete idea in this vein is to create livebook docs for libraries that don't have them. One neat new library that I think could really benefit from this is https://github.com/hissssst/pathex

  • ice_cream

    I don’t know of a tutorial but this library has a nice LiveBook doc: https://github.com/joseph-lozano/ice_cream

  • Mergify

    Updating dependencies is time-consuming.. Solutions like Dependabot or Renovate update but don't merge dependencies. You need to do it manually while it could be fully automated! Add a Merge Queue to your workflow and stop caring about PR management & merging. Try Mergify for free.
