OSS Starter

AI-powered OSS contribution habit builder. Inspired by CodeTriage, rebuilt for the AI era.

The Idea

3 hours → 3 contributions. Do that consistently for 2-3 years → you become great at exactly what you built.

Most devs never contribute to OSS because the barrier feels high. CodeTriage proved that small, frequent actions compound. This takes that idea further: AI matches you to issues you can actually solve, estimates effort so you know if it fits your schedule, and tracks your streak so the habit sticks.
