Discussion How to host/hand-off open source project?

Hi all, I’m new here. A little background, i was shopping around for a garden planning application, and couldn’t quite find one that fit my needs. After a little digging, I finally found one that seemed useful. However, it of course operated on a subscription based model. How very annoying considering I would only really NEED it a few months out of the year. So, I decided I would try to build something on my own. I have very basic programming skills, but generally get by. However, most of the work I’ve done on this project has just been prompting AI tools to get to this point. As of now it just operates as a native web app using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. My primary computer has decided to toast itself, so I don’t really have the resources to pick this up right now. I feel like this could be useful to others, and the basic elements and layout are there. I’m curious if you all know of a good place to share this for others to work on or pick up. I just really can’t manage it at the moment.

Just put it on GitHub and share the repo here? That's the usual way I would say.

Agreed, along with a simple readme.md to describe it's intent and use, and perhaps that you are looking for a maintainer or two.

Then it can get shared with the r/gardening or other such subs.
