What Hacker News says
3 sourcesTell HN: I got my first open source PR after 5 months
I open sourced my project CubeDesk (like chess.com but for Rubik's cubes) about 5 months ago and, given the decent-sized user base, I expected PRs to start coming in left and right. That... did not happen.
Today, after several months of the repo getting stars and attention, I finally got a nice, useful PR. It's given me motivation to focus on the project again and hope it'll motivate others to start contributing too.
Would love some advice on how I can get more contributors and how I can be a better maintainer.

Hi all. I shared my project, cubedesk.io, a few months ago as the "chess.com" of cubing. I got a lot of comments saying that building the "lichess.org" of cubing would've been better, hinting at making it open source. Which I'm doing today!
What started as a basic timer for me to keep track of my solve times has now turned into an app with thousands of weekly active users who have generated millions of solves. Making the project open-source seems like the right next step for the app. Cheers!
