Verto (Code), formally known as first-issue is a place to find your first contributions in the open source world. We love open source software that helps people find their way in open source.

Verto helps you find projects that have small or large amounts of open issues, search by tags and stars, and find a project that you can contribute to.

🌠 Features

Verto makes it really easy to find projects that need more contributors or have a bunch of outstanding issues. If you're the type that wants to take 4 issues to zero, or the type that wants to take 100 issues to 90, they've got features for you.

• Find new issues
• Find by least or most stars
• Search name, description and tags of various free and open source projects
• Browse by programming language

⚒️ Building Verto yourself

Verto is built with NodeJS, so if you want to build it and run it locally, make sure you have the node tool chain installed (you'll need npm) and run the following after checking out the repo:

# Install the dependencies
npm install
# Start the development server
npm run dev

Unfortunately Verto doesn't have a Dockerfile or any way to start with docker so you're going to have to write your own, or build it and deploy from scratch.
