Frequently Asked Questions

>Where does the data come from??
Results come live from the GitHub Search API through devvkit's gh-search proxy. The API route is rate-limited by GitHub, so filters are applied on GitHub's side before results reach you.
>How do I find good first issues??
Filter by language, license, and activity, then click "View good first issues" on any repository. That link opens GitHub filtered to open issues labeled good first issue.
>What makes a repository "healthy"??
The tool flags repos as stale or overloaded when they have not been pushed recently or carry too many open issues per star. Prefer repos with recent commits and a maintainer who responds quickly.
>Do I need a GitHub account to use it??
No. Searching works anonymously, though GitHub's public API rate limit applies to the shared proxy.
