Elixir Beginner Open Source

Hi there everyone!

Recently, I have fallen in love with programming with Elixir and have been having so much fun with it. I have been doing some side projects and was wondering if you guys knew any open source projects / beginner issues I could get involved with to improve my skill with the language (sadly not using the language at work). I would greatly appreciate a nudge in the right direction and would love to give back to the community.

Thanks everyone,

Chase

Definitely have poked my head around that thread once or twice :D. I’ll give it a look. Decided to work on a discord bot for my stock trading server!

It’s not explicitly related to beginner open source issues but it’s a great place to find out about interesting issues nonetheless:
