Ask HN: I am creating a project on opensource,how to gather people to contribute
I am working on a project involving transferring of sound from android to some port of PC, and a python library at the backend can get the voice and use it in other applications, with the enthusiasm of OS I want to gather more people around and want to collaborate, how this is possible. I have seen big repos like Python-Requests, Beautiful Soup etc there are many of the contributors they contribute to a cause, how can I make my repo like this.
You need users first. Users become contributors. Some contributors become long term contributors. To get an initial user base I'd recommend following this checklist I've created: https://github.com/amilajack/project-checklist. Also replying quickly to issue requests helps retain users over time, which indirectly increases the number of people that become contribute over time.
Okk, Thank you very much
