Finding open-source projects with the GitHub API

Python/Django app

Contributing to open-source projects is often recommended as a good way to get better at writing code (and have something to tangible to show for it). It's usually easier said than done, however—finding open-source projects that would welcome contributions from first-timers can be difficult. So, I've written a little script to scrape the GitHub API to find open-source projects containing issues with the "help wanted" tag, to give some leads on projects that you might be able to contribute to.
