๐Ÿค” What are the best resources for starting an opensource project?

I'm trying to kick off a couple of projects in the Codรบ Discord but just want to make sure I have some community/OSS standards in place.

What's the place/resources you have found on starting an opensource software project?

Thanks!

I think opensource.guide/ is quite comprehensive

I second that as a resource for setting up a good, well documented open source project.

I actually looked at this before and it's awesome! I am obviously overthinking if I think I need more ๐Ÿ˜‚

Do you need any tool to find projects for reference?
If you want to know what's happening in the open source software world, this tool may help you: ossinsight.io/explore/
For example, to get the most popular Web3 projects in 2022:
ossinsight.io/explore/?id=9f2f6d32...
