Who's looking for open source contributors? (week 39)

Restarting something Ben was doing for a while, and we plan on doing this every Friday!

Open Source is about the community. Whether you have a project or you're looking to make your first PR.

Tell us about your project

Promote your project by providing a link to the repo. Everyone who posted in previous weeks is welcome back this week, as always 😄

Open Source should be a welcoming space for contributors. The README is the front door of your project. If you'd like to check out an example of a README, here's our OpenSauced/insights README.

If you submit please have the following in your repo to make it welcoming and helpful for contributors:

1. README.md
2. CONTRIBUTING.md

Finally, consider reading the Best Practices for Maintainers.

Happy coding!

See it in action!

Every Punk can make any contributions to share your styles and unsual code snippet metaphor that belived it's something wrong different in traditional theory or usual business, but it's work! That our Punk Freestyle Engineer. Welcome to the Street Community Programmer

How it's work?

- We use GitHub issues templates to create a new metaphore.

- Once the metaphore is accepted, we use GitHub Action to generate a markdown file that contains the metaphore.

- The website vercel build is triggered and updated automatically.

- Your metaphore is now live online!

I guess I am ;-). But I have a very particular desire. I'm interested in finding folk motivated to provide tabletop gamers (board gamers, if you prefer), who are keen to contribute to a Python (Django) based back end with a Postgresql database and (surprise surprise) JS front end (albeit with nothing much fancier than JQuery at present). It's evolving but as a hobby sideline, and is an in service web site, but pre-beta, to wit I don't advertise it strongly at all, or need a flood of interest. It's by invite only at this stage.

But I have tried to find contributors locally in the gaming community, inducted 2, had another 2 or 3 offers, but in the years this project has been evolving am still to see a single line of contributed code or even documentation ... ;-). So perhaps rather than looking for gamers who love to code, this post reminds me, it might be time to throw a net out to coders (dev.to community) who love to game. And by game, we mean tabletop not computer or video games.

Drop me a line if you might be interested.

To consider how much effort is welcome, I offer this for context: I have been pottering on this very loosely starting with spreadsheets before moving to Python based solution since about 2014 ... and can and have given it maybe on average about 5 evening windows of my time between having children in bed and retiring per month (sometimes not touching it for two months or three sometimes doing a sprint where I am working on something for 10 such evenings across a month).

As stated, it's a sideline, a hobby interest, but a cool project and I would like to share it some time more broadly and in the interim on EoI (expression of interest). That said an enterprising soul could find it anyhow with a little research, it's not hidden, just not publicised).
