IssueSwipe: A swipe-based tool for discovering open source contributions

Original: I Built Tinder for Open Source Contributions 🔥

Short summary

IssueSwipe is a new open-source tool that applies a Tinder-style swipe interface to GitHub issue discovery, helping developers find contribution-friendly issues matched by language, skill level, and interests. It gamifies the experience with XP, ranks, streaks, and contribution tracking from saved to merged PR. Planned features include AI-powered recommendations and team contribution mode.

  • IssueSwipe presents GitHub issues as swipeable cards filtered by language, experience level, and labels like 'good first issue'
  • Gamification features include XP, developer ranks, daily streaks, and a saved-to-merged contribution pipeline
  • Built with Next.js, TypeScript, Prisma, and GitHub GraphQL API; fully open source and seeking contributors

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.

Is this a good recommendation for you?
