It took me years to find my first “good first issue.” GitPulse lets you do it in seconds.
Every new developer eventually faces the same problem:
You want to contribute to open source…
…but GitHub search gives you:
❌ outdated issues
❌ unmaintained repos
❌ tasks way above your skill level
❌ dead projects
❌ no onboarding
❌ no guidance
I dealt with this for years.
So I finally built something to fix it.

💡 Why I built it
When I tried to contribute to open source for the first time, I went through:
• dead repos
• huge enterprise projects
• cryptic issues
• 300-comment discussions
• issues from 2017
Most “good first issue” labels were lies.
Some maintainers add the label just to look friendly.
So I decided to solve it properly with AI.
