Finally found a way to search on GitHub for projects

Since my previous post I have been looking for projects to practice and learn standard practices. Most projects that interests me are about adding videos to your react/react-native app. I would also like to learn and explore how a data manipulation happens when the size is exponentially bigger and how to make chunks which can later be rendered.

The 2 suggestions for such thing I found is:

For searching, I have tried out some approaches and found out few ways in general on how can one search for such projects.

Alternatively, to find smaller projects you could try a custom search (this example I filtered for the react dependancy in package.json, with more than 10 stars, and written in js): https://github.com/search?l=&o=desc&q=%22react%22+filename%3Apackage.json+stars%3A%3E10+language%3AJavaScript&s=updated&type=Repositories

Another custom search for repositories containing issues tagged "good-first-issue": https://github.com/search?q=react+good-first-issues%3A%3E2

More on this: https://help.github.com/en/articles/helping-new-contributors-find-your-project-with-labels

As you guys suggested, I guess diving deep and just start doing it without thinking that it would be impossible would be the key here. Please do suggest more ways to do advanced searches on GitHub and other means like articles, blogs,etc.
