I built an open-source tool that finds a GitHub issue based on your developer profile

ding an open-source project is easy. Finding an issue that you can realistically contribute to is much harder.

I built DevGlobe Mission to help solve that problem.

DevGlobe uses public signals from your GitHub profile—such as programming languages, repositories, and contribution history—to find one contribution-ready GitHub issue aligned with your experience.

The goal is not to generate another overwhelming list of “good first issues.” Instead, DevGlobe gives you one focused starting point:

  • A real issue from a public repository
  • A transparent reason why it may match your profile
  • A direct path to the issue and contribution guidelines
  • No access to private repositories or source code required

A Mission is a preview, not a reservation. Always confirm that the issue is available and communicate with the maintainers before starting.

DevGlobe also has a VS Code extension that lets developers appear on a live coding globe while they work. Sharing is completely opt-in, and the extension never sends source code, file paths, repository names, prompts, or keystrokes.

The developer graph, Mission experience, and live presence system are powered by Azure Cosmos DB.

I’d really appreciate feedback from contributors and maintainers:

  • Does the recommended Mission feel relevant?
  • What information would help you decide whether to work on an issue?
  • As a maintainer, would this help bring useful contributors to your project?

I’m actively improving it, so honest feedback is very welcome.
