I built GitPulse — A tool to help you find beginner-friendly open-source projects

As a beginner, finding your first open-source issue is harder than it should be.
I always found myself scrolling GitHub for hours, unsure which repos were active
or beginner-friendly.

So I decided to build something to fix it.

🔵 Introducing GitPulse
A free tool that helps you discover approachable open-source projects.

✨ Features:
• Beginner-friendly issues (“good first issues”)
• Repo activity & maintainer responsiveness
• Contribution difficulty prediction (AI-based)
• Skill-based repo recommendations
• Contributor insights & repo health

🟣 Tech:
Built with Next.js 14, TypeScript, Tailwind, and the GitHub API.

If you’re learning to code or trying to make your first contribution, I hope this helps.
