contribute.btcpayserver.org

A unified landing page that surfaces all good first issues across the BTCPay Server GitHub organization, filtered by contributor skill — developer, writer, designer, or marketer.

Live: https://contribute.btcpayserver.org

---

How it works

1. A GitHub Actions workflow runs every 6 hours (and on manual trigger)
2. It fetches all good first issue labeled issues from every public repo in the btcpayserver org
3. Issues are mapped to skill categories and sub-tags based on repo language and labels
4. The data is written to public/data/issues.json and the site is rebuilt and deployed to GitHub Pages

The site is fully static — no backend, no API calls from the browser.

Local development

git clone https://github.com/btcpayserver/contribute.btcpayserver.org
cd contribute.btcpayserver.org
npm install
npm run dev

The dev server uses the seed data in public/data/issues.json. To fetch live data:

ORG_GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_your_token node scripts/fetch-issues.js
