Discussion on: How to start contributing to open source as a junior or newbie?

I maintain a couple projects where junior contributors are always welcome.

Viano, a musical toy written in Vue.

SpitScript, a transpiler that turns rap lyrics into JavaScript.

Pros: neither of these is mission-critical for anyone, so the stakes are nice and low, and there's no pressure to make everything perfect.

Cons: neither of these is very important, so you won't get much clout in the open source community by contributing.

Still, if you're looking to get your feet wet, you're welcome to check them out.
