TLDR: it's live here and the code is here
Hi all,
It can be hard sometimes for beginners to find THE good project and THE good issue to make a first open source contribution. In order to tackle, I created an application powered by the Github's GraphQL API.
It works as a search engine which allows you to query by keywords and languages across all repositories to find issues tagged with beginners friendly labels (I have listed more than 50 of them so far!).
The Github's API does not really expect this kind of use case where you want to search across all repositories. So, tweaks and workarounds had to (and some still need to) be found to handle in a better way some features such as the pagination for instance.
Besides, to have fun while practicing my CSS skills, I tried to achieve a 80's vibes design, hope you'll like it or better, will want to improve it !
This app is realized with React (preact under the hood), React Router and React Apollo.
Feel free to give me your feedbacks whether you like it or not :)
Thanks,
Gaël

I get the same idea after reading post "Who's looking for open source contributors" :)
Maybe just an image miss (to see your app for people without Github account :D)

You stole it from my dreams 😂😂

Haha sorry mate ! 😂
Don't hesitate to open à PR to improve the project ! 😉
I am not really active on it currently but yes there are some features I would like to add.
Looks great but the tags on the right hand side seem unpleasantly blurry compared to the rest of the text.
I agree. I need to improve it 😀
