Hey Matthew!

Thank you so much for reading the post and sharing your thoughts. It means a lot to me :)

So, I have written a blog post about contributing to open source scottistern.com/how-to-make-your-F..., but it doesnt really deep dive into HOW to find a project like you're requesting. Ill go ahead and get writing that, thats a great idea.

But so you don't have to wait, let's get this done on here. Are you looking for frontend work or backend work?

Hi Scott,

I'm open to both, but mostly front-end work. I'm a full stack developer with a lot of experience working with Rails as a back-end API, but I really enjoy the front-end more using JavaScript / React.js

So I think eslint is a great first open source project. The code base is organized and the community is very active and helpful.

I also recommend Gitlab, everything is open source and you can pick between frontend issues and backend. The engineers at the company are more than willing to help get your local env running and help with any questions.

Does this help?
