In this era of open-source development, we have tons of repositories and amazing open-source projects available on GitHub. But for someone like me, who is new to open source, it can be quite challenging. Interestingly, it's not just the contributors who face confusion; even the maintainers struggle. But, as they say, modern problems need modern solutions. And in that sense, OpenSauced seems to be the savior for many of us.

What is OpenSauced ?

OpenSauced is an open-source project designed to offer real insights into open-source repositories and contributions for both maintainers and contributors. It's a lifesaver in many ways because it provides us with many helpful tools to get started and gain clear insights about repositories and contributions.

Now to make things clear and easy to understand lets take an example

As an Android developer, I am always seeking valuable open source projects to which I can contribute. However, before I begin investing my efforts into a codebase, I always review the project's statistics, such as:

• How many active contributors are present in the project?

• How many issues are available to contribute to, and are new issues being updated regularly?

Inside GitHub, we can manually check these statistics, but it can be quite a tedious task to do on our own. This is where OpenSauced comes into play, offering a variety of analytical tools to efficiently check these stats.

The Real help for the contributors

In this competitive landscape, developers seeking new opportunities, who have made significant contributions in the past, might struggle to present their work in a clear and informative manner. Well, in that case OpenSauced can play a pivotal role in helping you land your next role.

OpenSauced provides multiple features such as :

As a contributor, you might have always wished for recommendations of good open-source projects based on your tech stack. You don't need to worry anymore. OpenSauced helps with this by providing recommendations tailored to your profile.

Well, we've talked about how OpenSauced can help contributors, but what about maintainers? OpenSauced has so many awesome features for maintainers too!

Lottery Factors

I found this feature incredibly cool and underrated. With Lottery Factors, you can check the risk factors to see if the project heavily depends on the top contributors, which could create a kind of monopoly. It also provides you with insightful statistics accordingly.

Deep Insights

With OpenSauced, maintainers can check various project statistics, such as:

• Average PRs velocity

• Average PRs Opened

• Active Contributors

• Engagements

• Filters

StarSearch

If you think that's the end, well, you're wrong! OpenSauced has another awesome feature called StarSearch, which is an AI-powered tool. Curious to find recent active contributors in typescript? or maybe you want to know which contributors got most PRs merged in the official repository of React? You don't have to look anywhere else StarSearch will help you with that! You can join the wait list for this exciting feature to test it out yourself.

Conclusion

If you are an open source contributor or a maintainer, OpenSauced can help you in many ways. It will transform this era of open source development into an intuitive and amazing experience. With proper insights and collective information, developers will find it easier to access valuable statistics without putting in a lot of effort.
