Who's looking for open source contributors? (week 41)

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!
