CodeTriage: Open Source Project Contribution Tool

Find open source project issues suitable for your skills and interests with CodeTriage, an open source app that matches developers to projects based on experience level and interests.

What is CodeTriage?

CodeTriage is an open source web application that makes contributing to open source projects more approachable for developers of all experience levels. It works by recommending beginner-friendly issues from popular GitHub projects that match a developer's interests and skills.

After signing up with GitHub, developers select their programming languages and frameworks of interest. CodeTriage then periodically emails them a handpicked, open source issue that is well documented, approachable in scope, and suited to their background. This allows developers to skip triaging issues themselves and start contributing right away.

CodeTriage was founded by Richard Schneeman and is used by over 13,000 developers today. By matching new contributors with maintainers who are invested in bringing novices onboard, the app has helped lower the barrier to entry for open source participation. It has facilitated over 72,000 contributions since its founding in 2016.

The recommended issues come from high-profile Ruby and JavaScript projects like Ruby on Rails, React, and jQuery. CodeTriage itself is also built with Ruby on Rails and has a community of over 100 open source contributors improving the app.
