Introduction

[puneeth-92]

Hello 👋

I’m Puneeth, a Computer Science Engineering student from BMS College of Engineering, Bengaluru.
I recently set up PictoPy locally and got the frontend + backend running successfully.

My primary background is in React and JavaScript, and I’m starting to explore the FastAPI-based backend gradually. I’m excited to contribute to PictoPy and would love to begin with frontend or beginner-friendly issues.

Please let me know if there are any good first issues or areas where I can start contributing.
Thanks!

Hi @puneeth-92,

Here are some beginner-friendly issues in the PictoPy repo that you can start with:

⭐ Good First / Newcomer-Friendly Opportunities

These issues either have labels or are simple UI/documentation enhancements that are great for first contributions:

👶 UI & Frontend

• Add smooth exit animation to Image Details Panel
  Pull request exists titled Add smooth exit animation to Image Details Panel labeled good first issue — this indicates similar tasks are suitable for new contributors. ([GitHub]1)

• ui(empty-state): make Settings link clickable in empty gallery
  Also labeled good first issue and straightforward UI work. ([GitHub]1)

📝 Documentation & UX improvements

• Although closed, PictoPy Landing Page improvements was labeled good first issue — similar documentation or page improvements are good practice. ([GitHub]2)

🔍 How to find more “good first issues”

You can also browse PictoPy issues directly:

1. Go to the Issues tab on the repo
2. Filter by label: good first issue or help wanted
   → e.g., in search: label:"good first issue"
   This pulls up beginner-friendly tasks. ([freecodecamp.org]3)
