Why Most Open-Source Issues Feel Hard (And What I’m Building to Fix It)

I like contributing to open source.

What I don’t like:
– Opening an issue
– Reading the description
– Still having no idea where in the codebase to start

Docs are long. Repos are big. Maintainers assume context you don’t have.
So I’m building something to fix that.

Sense-OSS adds an intelligence layer on top of GitHub.
It doesn’t auto solve Issues.
It doesn’t open PRs.

It just answers the questions GitHub doesn’t:

1. What part of the codebase does this issue likely affect?
2. What are likely changes to fix the issue?
3. Is this issue beginner-friendly or risky?
4. Where should I start, and why?

You open a repo.
You open an issue.
Below it, you see a clear explanation + likely files involved.

The goal is simple:
Reduce the mental cost of contributing.
