I can never find open source projects I want to contribute to.

Time to make one, then.

On a side note, you could try and make a useful alternative to Nano :D

@Jilano in all seriousness I would love to make a command line text editor similar to Nano and Vim

See the ones you use and submit bugfixes

@RememberMe I don’t use any of them

@Bubbles you generally only get invested in OSS projects that you use or have need of somehow, without that it's kinda pointless.

https://github.com/godotengine/...

A game engine with 2D/3D capability. Start small by contributing to wikis or small bugs. It's on C++ so if you have a background on C++, then you might as well contribute.

@Nanos everything generally works how I need it to

@balenol I don’t know nearly enough C++ to contribute to any project I only know bare minimum basics

I don't think I look for open source projects as a means to contribute somewhere.

Instead I look for projects that I want to use and care about, because since I'm not getting paid I would rather help software that I consider good than software I consider bad.

I'm a js dev, and the thing I care most of a module is if it's lightweight (I check that with bundlephobia.com), so I'm inclined to help those.

Then comes the rest of important things: code coverage, usage of ecmascript updates, whether the project had a commit in the past year, whether the docs are good enough, the perspective of the author on OSS, and so on.

I usually follow specific authors because I like the way they code.

@Nanos ngl Im kinda confused
