FirstMerge
Find a good first issue worth your weekend.
Overview
FirstMerge scores every open-source “good first issue” before you spend a weekend on it — checking whether the issue is still unclaimed, the repo is active, and the maintainers actually merge outside contributions — and rolls it all into one Merge Score.

The Merge Score
A single signal that blends claim status, repo activity, and maintainer merge behaviour so contributors invest time in work that actually lands.
02
Live issue intelligence
Thousands of issues tracked and verified continuously, filterable by language, size, popularity, and whether they are still unclaimed.
03
Signal-first interface
Grouped and list views surface “likely to merge”, “mixed”, and “risky” issues with per-issue reasoning, so the decision takes seconds.
