Finding a good open-source project to contribute to shouldn’t take hours.
But for beginners (and honestly even experienced devs), GitHub can feel overwhelming.
So I built GitPulse — a tool that helps developers instantly discover open-source projects and beginner-friendly issues based on their skills.

🌟 Why I Built GitPulse
I wanted to start contributing to open source, but I kept running into problems:
Repos were too advanced
Issues weren’t beginner-friendl
Projects were inactive
Documentation was unclear
I didn’t know which project actually FIT my skills
So GitPulse was born: a simple platform that curates issues, analyzes repo difficulty, and recommends projects you can realistically contribute to.
