Description

👋👋 Hello Hacktoberfest contributors

if you are looking to contribute to Mind-Expanding Books, I would recommend focusing on improving the website which can be accessed at http://books.vishnuks.com/ (soon to get its own domain). The source code lives in /app directory.

There are a ton of improvements that can be made to the website. I have some issues opened at https://github.com/hackerkid/Mind-Expanding-Books/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Awebsite

But don't be limited by the issues. Feel free to open a PR for anything that you think is an improvement.

My goal is to make the website the place where you go to discover what book to read next.

Another great repo to contribute to

Another project of mine, https://diff.blog is also looking for contributors. The issues there are super friendly for beginners without much coding experience. So you should check them as well.
