Jumping into open source for the first time can be both exciting and terrifying. I still remember staring at my first issue, wondering if I was good enough to even try fixing it.
So I’m curious—what was your very first open source contribution?
Was it a tiny typo fix, a huge PR, or just opening an issue? How did the maintainers respond?
Let’s turn this into a thread that helps newcomers feel more confident. Share your first-time stories and maybe even drop some beginner-friendly projects others can check out!
