Supporting open-source projects on Product Hunt

Earlier this year, I started contributing to open source -- and enjoy doing it.

From this experience, I learned two main lessons:

1. You can start contributing anytime,
2. You don't need to code to contribute.

For non-developers, you can contribute in many (7) different ways:

• Sponsor open-source projects,
• Translate,
• Document,
• Test,
• Manage issues,
• Design,
• Engage in communities -- joining discussions, giving talks, and helping spread the word.

There's more.

You can support open-source projects on Product Hunt, too.

Supporting OSS projects on Product Hunt

Product Hunt features new products daily. It gets millions of visits every month.

For open-source maintainers, launching on Product Hunt is an opportunity to raise awareness. And they need support!

We're in October, it's #Hacktoberfest. There's no better time to start contributing.

Let's celebrate this month by supporting open-source products.
