Hello there, tech enthusiasts, developers, and writers!
Are you looking to make your first open-source contribution this Hacktoberfest but not sure where to start?
We’ve built the perfect project for you:
👉 Commit & Contribute a community-driven tech blog where anyone can share knowledge, and no coding experience is required.
Yes, really. You can contribute with just Markdown and JSON and we’ll walk you through every step.
🎯 What Is This Project?
Commit & Contribute is a zero-CMS, file-based blog built with:
- Next.js 15 (App Router)
- TypeScript
- Tailwind CSS
- Markdown + JSON for content
But here’s the best part: you don’t need to run the app locally to contribute.
All you need to do is:
- Write a short blog post in Markdown (
content/posts/your-post.md) - Add your author profile in JSON (
content/authors/your-username.json) - Submit a Pull Request on GitHub
That’s it! 🎉
💡 What Should You Write About?
We welcome tech-focused posts like:
- “How I Built My First CLI Tool”
- “Why I Switched from REST to GraphQL”
- “Debugging a Weird TypeScript Error”
- “My First Week with Next.js App Router”
- “Lessons from My First Hacktoberfest”
We have some issues if you have no idea
Beginner? Perfect! Your fresh perspective is valuable.
Senior dev? Share a pro tip or war story.
📌 Posts must be original, respectful, and written by you (AI-generated content without human insight won’t be accepted).
🌟 See It Live
Once merged, your post appears on our live blog:

You’ll get your own author page, tags, and even a search feature!
