Ask HN: Question regarding open source software

from the ask-hn dept.

My question— How to find an open source software idea (or ongoing project) like Python, Linux, WebRTC or something else?

I want to work on some meaningful projects to help solve some bottlenecks.

We would love your help on Pion WebRTC!

What motivates you, certain topics or building things in a certain area? what are you most interested in?

My recommendation is to try con contribute to projects you already use? Which ones are you using? Which features would you like?

Also, good bug reports are very useful. So if you find some error, fill a polite bug report with clear reproduction instructions.
