Ask HN: Contribute effectively for open source

[cond289123]

What do you recommend for this?

[Piskvorrr]

Find an existing project that's already in your area of interest - e.g. a sporttracker if you're into running - and start contributing to that. No point in starting someplace that's completely alien to you.

Preferably, pick an existing project that you already use in your area of interest.

I recommend you do it. /s

In seriousness, I think you need to be more specific about what you want to know/understand, your question is pretty open ended.
