Dec 14th? Don't say I'm going to have to re-live the productivity black hole that is the holiday season, Ben...

I don't have a project that I'm looking for contributors on, but I'm looking for projects that need a PowerShell pro, or a C# intermediate, or a Typescript noob. :D

By no means a huge OSS project, but for those that use Gatsby for their blog or other purposes, feel free to contribute to my Gatsby code snippets extension

VS Code Gatsby Snippets Extension screen shot

And more recently, there is the Gatsby extension pack for VS Code. Feel free to contribute there to, if you think another extension should be added to the pack.

I'm making a tiny interval timer web app called Intervals. It's in React JS. Very easy and beginner friendly, since I'm a beginner myself. There are many features I'd like to add that I've listed out in the README. The repo is here

Here is a really random project and is really easy to contribute.

npmjs.com/package/msg-generator

The idea of the project is to have lists of messages of different categories and it will generate one of the messages given the category.

You can contribute by adding more messages to the repo.

I'd be happy to have someone contribute to jinx, the little nginx wrapper script I wrote. One pain point I currently have is that the restarting of nginx only works on macOS and Ubuntu. So if someone wants to implement service management for their favorite distro, that'd be great!

Also if some shell magician feels like yelling at me for writing ugly shell code, I'll happily accept that too. :D

Hey! In general, you can use the GitHub emoji codes to add them to your commit messages. For example :wave: produces 👋 (They work on dev.to too btw!)

There's also a specific key for the type of commit. I follow this one: gitmoji.carloscuesta.me/

If you can't be bothered to remember which emoji goes with which commit, you can also install a command-line helper: github.com/carloscuesta/gitmoji-cli

PHPBignum is an open source PHP bignumber library intended to cover all sorts of mathematic operations over big integers and big floats. I'd be more than happy to have contributors. Also there are issues for the new contributors.
