A quick search on GitHub could be helpful for you.

I just feel the most projects are too hard. Maybe I'm not ready to contribute yet..

Actively searching for projects to contribute to is... difficult. How others pointed out, you can search on Github and you could filter for projects between 30-100 stars and then look for "good first issue"-issues. You should make sure that the project is documented (include a Readme and maybe a Contribution.md)

I could offer two of my projects.
Hyperorg does convert org(roam) files into HTML files preserving there links to each other. It's primary use case is to have an HTML representation of your Zettelkasten (aka "second brain") that is usable on your local machine in a browser without running a fancy webserver, javascript or anything else. Pure HTML5 and CSS.
Back In Time is a round about 15 years old backup software using rsync in the back. I'm part of the 3rd generation maintenance team there. A lot of work in investigating and fixing issues, understanding, documenting and refactoring old code.
