In looking for different projects that I could contribute to, I found it to be quite a challenge. There are several factors that I am considering when looking for a project which are whether or not I can contribute to it, if I find it interesting, and if there is an active community with issues I can tackle. There are projects that I find to be interesting but would also find it to be difficult to contribute within the limited timeframe. There were many projects that I was considering contributing to that were using TypeScript. I am unsure whether TypeScript can be learned quickly if I already have experience with JavaScript and typed languages. The extra challenge of learning TypeScript would be something I have to keep in mind. I am still very uncertain as to what project I would contribute to but the discussion of Spicetify during class was interesting and will be considering that as well.

The biggest challenge in contributing to an open source software will most likely be the communication for me. I am unsure about how I should be claiming and contributing to issues. Furthermore, there is also a challenge of whether or not I can actually solve the issue. However, I do find this challenge to be exciting. I want to be more accustomed to the open source world and this would be my first step. To overcome these uncertainties, I will most definitely be looking into past issues and discussions to be used as a precedence.
