How Can I Contribute to the Development of Leptos as a Beginner in Open Source?

[MarcosSete]

Hello! I am really excited about the Leptos framework and would love to contribute to its development. However, I am new to open-source contributions, and I’m not sure where to start. Could anyone guide me on how to begin contributing to the project, especially for someone who is just starting with open-source coding? Any advice on best practices, starting points, or issues that are suitable for beginners would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Here some general information, if you're not aware of it already:

Repositories that welcome contributors usually have a CONTRIBUTING.md. This one links to an architecture document as well.

First issues are usually labeled or tagged with good first issue

This is a good question, and something I love to see. My general recommendations are to try it out and see where you get stuck. PRs to update the docs are easy to write and always appreciated.

If you're familiar with browser APIs, sometimes community work like writing a Rust wrapper around a JS API that's not in leptos_use is good and always appreciated. I have a small list of community crates I'd love to see, like a high level auth crate similar to remix-auth or help with the build tooling.

As for leptos proper, it's a bit tricky. A bunch of it is fairly complicated. If you have an area of interest I'm happy to provide more specific guidance
