Way too many for my sanity! I write for the wiki of postmarketOS, I translated for fluffychat, I‘m in the process of porting bitwarden client flatpak to arm (current version is years old) and many more. I write issues for every app I encounter bugs in. Have accounts on at least 5 popular git forges for that reason (time for federation folks!).

How I find projects?

I transition my life away from proprietary software one app at a time. If it exists in foss I try it. If I can manage daily driving it I do so and move to the next. There are always bugs, wrong translations or missing features. I report them as I encounter them and if I desperately need an app that doesnt work I attempt a port.

I do this in strong opposition to some folks who have coding skills and who decide to shit on some open source apps because they‘re „broken“. The amount of energy it takes to spit hate would have sufficed to do something about it.

Thanks for asking. Feel free to join the hunt for bugs.
