Welcome to the Hearts Welcome Repository! 🎉 This is where we track onboarding for both open-source projects and contributors participating in Hearts.
Hearts is a project by Open Source maintainers for Open Source maintainers and contributors. Our goal is to bring more recognition to contributors by tracking and notifying them of the ❤️ reactions they receive on their contributions across participating projects.
This repository serves as the onboarding hub for projects and users joining Hearts. It helps:
- Project maintainers track the status of their project's onboarding process.
- Contributors opt in to receive notifications about ❤️ reactions on their contributions.
- Provide a space for communication, updates, and troubleshooting during onboarding.
When a project or contributor joins Hearts, we automatically create an onboarding issue in this repository.
- When a maintainer installs the Hearts app on their organization, we create a project onboarding issue.
- This issue helps track the setup progress and provides updates on the initial import of contributors.
- The issue also serves as a communication channel between maintainers and the Hearts team.
- Once project onboarding is complete, an onboarding issue is created for contributors here.
- This issue invites contributors to sign-up for Hearts.
- Contributors who sign up will receive notifications about ❤️ reactions on their contributions to participating projects.
- The issue also serves as a communication channel between contributors and the Hearts team.
- Maintainers: Check your project’s onboarding issue for status updates and next steps.
- Contributors: Follow the link in your onboarding issue to authenticate with GitHub and start receiving notifications.

This initiative is led by @babblebey, @gr2m and @bdougie, all active Open Source maintainers who understand the challenges of visibility and appreciation in community-driven projects.
