Ask HN: What open source projects need help?

Let's match open source projects that need help with developers looking to contribute. Think of this as "Who's Hiring" but for open source - a monthly thread to surface interesting projects that could use more hands.

Please include: Project name and description (if not widely known); Tech stack; Areas needing help (DOCS, CODE, DESIGN, etc.); Level (BEGINNER-FRIENDLY if applicable); Email address or other means of contacting you.

Ground rules:

Post only if you maintain/run the project

One post per project/suite

No commercial recruitment

No thread complaints

Developers: Only reach out if you actually want to contribute.

Plain Old Recipe: takes online recipes and removes the cruft.

Things I want to do:

1. Improved print-friendly format 2. Ability to format to arbitrary sizes (for example, format for index cards) 3. Smarter layouts. For example, if a recipe says "add the chicken stock" in a step it would be great if it could identify how much ("1 cup") like some apps do.

Never seen this before, but it's such a simple and brilliant idea. Thank you!
