Our story

Every great contributor started somewhere. A typo fix. A docs update. A tiny bug patch. That first, imperfect commit that changed everything.
Open Source exists for that moment — the one before you feel ready.
We're a dev.to community for developers who want to contribute to open source but don't know where to begin. Every week we share beginner-friendly repos, contribution walkthroughs, PR tips, and real stories from members who made the leap.
No gatekeeping. No intimidating codebases. No closed doors.
Just a clear, welcoming path from curious to contributor.
Your legend starts with one commit. This is where it begins.
