Personal Background
This is my first year and first day (I spent October 1st debating about whether or not I should try Hacktoberfest) doing Hacktoberfest. One of the things I noticed immediately was the lack of good beginner friendly projects. Just about every project that was somewhat beginner friendly was also excluded and anything else with a hacktoberfest
tag was some huge, insane repository of a full stack project or something that was in no way beginner friendly.
Contributing
The hardest part about contributing might have been the fact there wasn't a nice list of beginner friendly projects. After that, the pull requests I made turned out to be to repositories of excluded (blacklisted) projects:
This means they were reported as a repository that's too easy to make pull requests to.
Solution
Before I made any pull requests, I actually tried to find a nice list of resources with Hacktoberfest specific open source projects in it. I found many resources listing general open source projects but none listing Hacktoberfest specific repositories. To combat that, I decided to create my own list. Similarly, I couldn't find an official list for blacklisted repositories either so I decided to compile my own
If you find any more good, beginner friendly Hacktoberfest projects or notice anything here has become excluded, feel free to contribute. This repository is also under a Hacktoberfest label so a pull request here will count towards your Hacktoberfest contributions as well!

I added some of the more project names and their links which have been excluded I hope it will be counted as a useful contribution in your repository.
It definitely is useful, thanks for contributing!
