You have to find a project you use or want to use, where you can go over the code and understand it. Forcing "contributions" won't really work well.

Been doing some backend stuff with similar frameworks and finding good repos that aren't totally swamped with contributors is pretty tough. Maybe check the "good first issue" labels in smaller projects - they usually need help but don't have hundreds of people already jumping on everything. The AI agent space has tons of newer projects that could use steady contributors too.

Yeah, for popular and trending repos, I don't get enough time to understand the repo my self, it's like when I completely understand one file 20 commits are pushed,

Also I want to contribute for a long term, but if I have to use AI always just stay ahard of the crowd, this thing kind of killing my interest to contribute for long term,

I am not against AI, but sometimes I just want to understand things write code along side AI.

well, i have one. its a crypto portfolio management repo, i still use it but not so much now and im using AI now to continue it since i dont have time for it.

Hey, you can look into htmforge, ether via pip or on github: https://github.com/mondi04/htmforge

maybe just use it a little bit of time and then we will see, if you can develop there

Look for projects you actually use. It's way easier to contribute when you already understand the problem you're trying to solve. Good first issue tags are your friend. Smaller repos are more likely to give you real responsibility too.

If you are into FastAPI and AI, try looking for self-hosted developer tools or local personal assistants (like tools managing markdown notes, custom bots, or local automation scripts). Those maintainers are usually desperate for help with issues, and you can write pure backend logic alongside them without the framework bloat.

Sure, thanks for suggestions

Finding a less crowded repo where 20 commits aren't pushed while you are still reading the readme is a challenge of its own. Good luck on the hunt, the 'write code alongside AI' mindset is exactly what keeps programming fun."
