If you are reading this, you are probably thinking about making a first open-source contribution to an external project. You may find useful this article on dev.to where I share my experience on how to do that better. What I call the Minimum Viable Pull-request

My Python library for interfacing with Troy Hunt's Have I Been Pwned API is now in version 0.5.0 and supporting Python 3.5 as well. However, there's surely more to improve on that. Go check the issues or stumble down the source code path. This is a very small library offering all the easy Hacktoberfest points! 🎃

For newcomers I have tasty treats in form of documentation:

Craft a Markdown documentation for the project #13

This is a no-brainer. We need to have basic documentation about how to install, use, and develop this project.

I have set up a Read the Docs project on #12 which should help to get things going. The rendering is done by mkdocs so Markdown is the way to go.

Any volunteers for writing this? It's recommended to get a good look on library before writing. Also, there will be a CLI implementation done in #10 so it needs to be documented as well.

Should the integration examples under examples directory and referenced in #3 also be moved to documentation? I see no motives against it

Following code snippet should be added to README.md along with link to the actual documentation.

<span class="pl-e">Documentation Status</span>

...improving code quality as reported by Codacy:

Improving Code Quality #8

We are using Codacy to monitor code quality and security issues. Its grade is now C B so there's some room for improvement.

Anyone willing to fix those? Discuss here if some rules need ignoring or adjustment.

...or if you want to integrate with your favorite web framework, please tell me how it went:

Add examples for integrating with Python web frameworks #3

If you have integrated PwnedAPI with eg. Flask, Django, Falcon, or any other cool web framework I'd fancy to see your integration!

Tutorial-level Markdown files (README.md) should be placed in examples directory with relevant code snippets for each framework. Optimal use case would be a sign-up form where the user types their password and has it checked against with PwnedAPI.

Frameworks covered

  • [x] Django
  • [ ] Flask
  • [ ] Falcon
  • [ ] Responder
  • [ ] Other? Let me know.

The Athens Project! We're a young project and an inclusive and welcoming community (regardless of background and experience level). It's a great way to learn #go too.

We'd love for you to join us, and if you're interested, check out github.com/gomods/athens/#contribu...

Help me work on my enhanced interactive git shell! (Or just try it out and let me know what you think by filing an issue or sending me an email).

I finally added animated GIFs to the README like all the cool kids do these days and I need to show someone :3

This thing has vastly improved my git experience (as in, how it feels to use git not how effectively I actually use git 😅). It's what I've always wanted in a git tool and I'm glad I made it, but it still has a ways to go so help me out!

Hi awesominals! If you are worried about privacy, democracy, data ownership or just want to self-host, Nextcloud would love your attention & code as we have that in common! We build essentially a private cloud with file sync & share as base but already more than 150 apps adding cool things from a polls/doodle app to calendar, password manager and many more.

Check out github.com/nextcloud - we have starter tasks to help you get doing and friendly devs!

Nextcloud is written in PHP and JS (much Vue lately) and quite easy to install and play with. Check out nextcloud.com for more!

I don't know if it's too late, but here's a project I am currently working on. I wrote a short article on dev.to for it, I think this one serves best as an explaination: dev.to/scriptify/crana---react--no...

Easy PRs welcome for memwatch: A library that triggers an event when the runtime memory usage of the process is over the limit and exits after a while.

I started github.com/theluk/react-formular a while ago because I liked the idea managing form state in context and having some kind of Middleware for validation and other stuff. But time is missing.

Would be glad to also have just a conversation about this approach in the issues section.
