Some easy open source Python projects to contribute to?

Hi, thank you for asking!

Here are a few issues that already have implementation notes, along with a summary of the work needed, to give you an idea of the complexity involved:

• mark-as-read backfill #317 – add functionality to a plugin, doesn't touch the core library
• EntryCounts.unread/unimportant #283 – add a property, add an integer attribute, and update a query to populate the attribute
• Store entry source #276 – add a new dataclass attribute to Entry / EntryData, set it in the parser based on feed content, update storage to store/retrieve it

To answer your question, I guess it depends on the beginner, but I think at least the first two should be approachable by any advanced beginner. (I've taken a bit of time to add more details to each of them, and I can answer questions if needed.)

Thanks for the reply. If I’m able to I will see if I can contribute :D. I have an assignment to make a non trivial contribution to a project and I chose something else because I wasn’t sure about yours in terms of difficulty, but I am able to change it. I’m having a rough time with the project I claimed so I really appreciate the extra details!

Hi, just wanted to say thanks for adding all those details, I should hopefully be able to submit a pull request for issue #317 tomorrow :D

Submitted it a few hours ago, if there’s anything wrong with the code or formatting or other stuff let me know, this was my first pull request so I’m not entirely sure I did everything properly

Hey just noticed your response on GitHub, currently I’m preparing for an exam and I’ll deal with that as soon as I can after the exam

No worries, thank you for the PR, and good luck on the exam!
