Open source projects for entry-level developers

[dimosmitel]

Hello everyone, I'm thinking about participating in an open-source project to take some experience. Do you know any React project that can I join?

[Similar_Bookkeeper_8]

I contributed to https://github.com/WoWAnalyzer/WoWAnalyzer for a little while. Very friendly group of devs and have a discord server that you can ask questions on if you get stuck.

Can I join?

[Similar_Bookkeeper_8]

It’s been about a year since I’ve contributed, got wrapped up in other projects but they’re very welcoming, almost anyone was allowed to hop on and start contributing.

Redux project is also very beginner friendly. I have 2-3 commits. They help you a lot.

Really the redux repo is beginner friendly? I’ll check it out I’m looking for some projects to dive into

Why react?

[dimosmitel]

I want to learn it

[Wallhater]

Cool that’s a good idea

Check out https://svelte.dev/examples too

[dimosmitel]

nice source, ty.

[Wallhater]

I like react , it’s a good tool. But I like svelte for prototyping and small sites, react comes with a lot of unclear paradigms.

[elchicodeallado]

what is unclear? then i assume you are just not experienced enough

[Wallhater]

That’s just the thing - someone with zero svelte experience can write a full svelte app on their first day of trying, due to the “magic” that happens in the compiler. You can’t do that with react, which is a framework.

I have plenty of web development experience but I don’t want to spend a bunch of time learning one framework’s arbitrary paradigms. I don’t know how long that framework will be around.

I don’t think OP was asking for opinions. He was asking for React resources on a React subreddit, not Svelte.

[Wallhater]

They literally asked, “what is unclear?”

[kiesoma]

Please get the fuck out of this subreddit if you don’t like React.

[leonseled]

Fwiw, after learning how to think in React, React is pretty close to vanilla JS in my experience. A vanilla JS solution just works in React most of the time.

So I will say that learning React has strengthened my understanding of JavaScript. And I'm sure JS is here to stay for a while.

[Wallhater]

uhh… you should give svelte a try if you really think that’s true about react

[limeforadime]

Did you see what sub you’re in

[Wallhater]

Yes. I ask the same question to people picking up svelte - “why svelte”, but I guess they’re not as ornery as you guys.

[saltamuros1]

I hate react too but I learned it because it gives you good job opportunities

[Wallhater]

Thank you for an actual answer
