Description

We have our project going and developing in a smooth way. The thing we need now is to introduce the project to people out there and asked them to give it a try. We also want to engage more and more onboard developers in the project. Ways to go for it:

Marketize project to developers
New kind of project: OS by configuration and one can develop its own iso for personal use without a single line to code with the simple GUI.
(REF1)Tag an issue and add it to a platform for new developers (first-timers-only issues: they are first-time open-source contributors) https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=state%3Aopen+label%3A%22first-timers-only%22&type=Issues

Research direction: The issue proposes creating first timers only issues and using platforms like up for grabs.net to attract new contributors. To proceed, a newcomer can start by reviewing the current open issues in the repository, identifying those suitable for beginners, and adding the 'first timers only' label. They should also update the repository's documentation, such as adding a CONTRIBUTING.md file or a section in the README about how to get started. The discussion in the issue (14 comments) may contain additional suggestions from maintainers.
