Issues Swipe

Tinder-style GitHub issue discovery for open-source contributors. Swipe through good-first-issues across all of GitHub - powered by GitIssue's search engine under the hood.

Problem & solution

! Problem

Finding open-source issues is a chore

New contributors want to get into open source but don't know where to start. GitHub's "good first issue" label is scattered across thousands of repos, and there's no engaging way to browse them. Traditional list views are boring and don't encourage exploration - people end up defaulting to the same popular repos instead of discovering new projects.

Gamified issue discovery through swiping

IssuesSwipe brings the addictive swipe mechanic to open-source contribution. Users swipe right on issues they want to work on, left to skip. Each card shows the repo name, issue title, labels, language, and difficulty hints. Under the hood, it queries GitIssue's cross-repo search engine to surface fresh issues continuously. Part of the Omnikon ecosystem.
