I made a website which helps you find interesting open source projects

Project page: https://opensourceappfinder.coders.party

Source code: https://github.com/dhst1211/opensourceappfinder

This is a project that helps you find open source projects you want to use and contribute to next time.
I made this website because I found that there are lots of open source apps that can be used in everyday life. Also, I heard that the best way to start contributing to open source is by choosing the projects you actually use, so by discovering apps you want to use, you can increase the chance to contribute to open source.

You can filter projects by language and category, which means you can search the project that uses your favorite language and sparks your interests(perfect match!).
This website only includes apps and excludes libraries because I thought it is easier to use and read codebase. And you can explore the libraries the project uses later on.

There are apparent bugs but I decided to make this public now because my focus has shifted to different things.
I have always felt that it is difficult to find an open source that is right for you to contribute, so I hope this helps your first open source contribution!

Update(April 4)
Thanks for your feedback! At first, I was wondering if I should make this project public or throw it away. So I didn’t expect that many people visit this post and project.
I want to see your half-done/abandoned project next time😀
