- This looks nice, but it's not clear to me what it actually does. Is it just a list of github issues with first-time-only tags? I would add some about information to make it…

- I'm guessing HN has killed this? I see a load of filters I can't change as well as tiles with placeholders instead of data...

From 1 comment
- It would be nice to see the project on the card also... Not sure if that was a design decision, but its really unclear to just have something like 'Add react' as the title…
