I truly appreciate the effort to encourage contributions to open-source projects. However, I believe it's important to distinguish between projects that provide meaningful value for contributors and those that may not offer as much growth or impact.

With respect, I feel that LinksHub might not be the best fit for an open-source contribution initiative in its current form. It seems more suited as a beginner-friendly project idea that someone could implement independently from start to finish. Given that it primarily consists of a UI layer built on top of hardcoded JSON data, it may not significantly benefit from contributions or add value to those who engage with it.

This is not intended to offend anyone who worked on itβ€”it’s a great project to explore and learn during the early stages of development. However, as it stands, it might be more accurately categorized as a personal learning project rather than one for broader collaboration.

As the author of this post, I want to encourage you to EXPLORE open source.

With Open Source,
You will gain practical knowledge.
You will gain modern development practices.
You will gain credibility and meet new people.

I know there are lots of good open source projects, but some are very tough for beginners with a large codebase.
So, if you know any good open source projects, comment down so others can check it out.
