I've been an active observer of open source projects for quite sometime and after seeing a sad side of open source programs where a lot of open source projects comes within a community and a lot of people just contribute for some score or just for the count of PRs they contribute.
The fact that these programs doesn't have a quality check for the ideas or the quality of maintainers proposing the projects makes me really sad. One instance I would like to quote is that there is a project out there submitted to a web3 program which motivates people to contribute to web3 tech but the repo is made more on a generic side with an empty open ended idea. - Why and how would you be able to motivate people to contribute to web3 stuff when it also has web2 code option plus no restriction on what someone can add to the repo.
Another instance is the quality of contributors randomly creating an issue on a project which they don't even see thoroughly, there is a project out there where the repo contains only html files and some potential contributors suggested to add an AI in that, a filter and even saving the form in local storage when it doesn't even have those capabilities.
Now, coming to my query:
I'm looking to start a quality open source project but see a lot of repetition of ideas around so I would like some suggestions on what could be a good go to idea or if you have a problem in mind which can be resolved if you had an open source project around it.
Thanks in advance.
