Mouthful is looking for both front-end and back-end devs to help with development.

It's a self-hosted commenting engine, made with Go and preact. It's fast and lightweight with support for multiple data stores(sqlite,mysql,postgres,dynamodb).

I've made it to be an alternative to disqus.

I'd really love for more people to get involved, things like code reviews, feature implementations and bugs are all there to be solved. Don't be discouraged by the technologies used, I'll gladly aid you with your first Go PR if you're not familiar with it but willing to try!

I'm not as good at front-end though and would really love some feedback/ideas/reviews/whatever else you can think of there.

Thanks!

I really want to check Go. I have no previous experience with it, but I want to cotribute to the open source community.

Do you mind pointing me to a good tutorials and perhaps help you with your project.

If you have previous coding experience, I'd start with (the golang tour)[tour.golang.org/welcome/1]. It gives a great overview of the language and its features. I'd really like to have you on board, and would gladly help with any issues you encounter!

Yes, I have experience with Java and Python. Lately I've been working a lot with Django. I'll take a look at the tour hopefully I can start helping you soon.

This looks like a nice project on which I can introduce myself to Go. If you can point me to some doable issues for beginners I will gladly fight for you. My GitHub handle is /AlexandruSimandi
