I'm a developer with a masters degree in biology. I would love to contribute to iNaturalist but Rails seems cumbersome from my POV, but in the end I think I'll try.

Any other open source projects looking for help?

I would rephrase your approach based on what technologies you know and want to work with.

Instead of looking for project who need help, why not:

I know $technology, which projects are looking for help?

It's then a matter of a couple of web searching sessions. :)

BTE, almost all scientific projects are looking for help. It's a matter of fit.

You're right, I'm just hyped for things like iNaturalist because handling citizen science data was part of my job when I worked as a biologist and put my two fielda of interest together sounds great.

My main stack now are C# and JS (Vue). Well, better start searching.

I do know for a fact that front end work is a big need. Solid FE work that takes a11y seriously will provide endless opportunities.

Best of luck!
