I noticed you have opened issues labeled help wanted. I recommend enhancing the CONTRIBUTING to make the call for new contributors more prominent.

Changes Made:

Why This Matters:

  • Attract New Contributors: Considering there is a number of opened issues labeled 'Help Wanted' - a welcoming and appealing README is one of the most efficient ways to attract new contributors

I also suggest enhancing the README or CONTRIBUTING with the following widgets using devActivity app:

1. Dynamic Top Contributors (with avatars linked to contributor profiles)

2. Repo Stats

devActivity Repo Stats Widget

Feel free to explore the Live Demo and Public Dashboard for a quick overview of the app.
It makes the contribution process more exciting with gamification elements like:

  • 🌟 XP and Levels based on contributions
  • 🏆 Challenges and Achievements
  • 🏅 Leaderboard and much more!

Latest repositories using devActivity: barecheck (⭐55)


Simply install an app to bring a more comprehensive and engaging community experience.

🌟 Happy Coding! 🌟

automated PR with intention to spam author's product.

to others reading, if you think shields would be a good contribution in line with what we're building, make a separate pull request.
