Open Source projects are helping the world, especially on the sustainability angle, not enough is being done to help others contribute.

There's a lot of Open Source projects out there, but as a contributor it's very difficult to find the right one to contribute to that matches your skills and interests.

Developed using Next.js and TypeScript, ClimateTriage integrates with the ecosyste.ms API to download and showcase a list of relevant projects and issues. The site, hosted on GitHub Pages, is built and updated through a CI/CD pipeline, reflecting the latest open-source opportunities for contributors.

More than 1400 unique users in the first 48 hours of the launch. This includes people who have volunteered their time, contributed code, and identified new projects for the list.

As an open-source project itself, ClimateTriage has garnered additional contributions, underscoring its community-driven ethos.
