# Hacktoberfest 2022

2022-10-01

We are very excited to join Hacktoberfest for the first time with Ghostfolio and meet new and ambitious open-source contributors. Hacktoberfest is a month-long celebration of open-source projects, their maintainers, and the entire community of contributors. Each October, open source maintainers from all over the world give extra attention to new contributors while guiding them through their first pull requests on GitHub.

## About Ghostfolio

Ghostfolio is a modern web application to manage your personal finance. The software presents the current assets in real time and supports the decision making of future investments. Whether rebalancing the asset classes (stocks, ETFs, cryptocurrencies, etc.) of your portfolio or financing an apartment, Ghostfolio offers solid, data-driven decision support.

Ghostfolio is written in TypeScript and organized as an Nx workspace. The backend is based on NestJS using PostgreSQL as a database together with Prisma and Redis for caching. The frontend is built with Angular.

## How to contribute?

Every contribution matters. This can be implementing new features, fixing bugs, refactoring the code, improving the documentation, adding more unit tests, or translating into another language.

Are you not yet familiar with our code base? That is not a problem. We have applied the label `hacktoberfest` to a few issues and ideas that are well suited for newcomers.

The official Hacktoberfest website provides some valuable resources for beginners to start contributing in open source.

## Get support

If you have further questions or ideas, please join our growing Slack community or get in touch on X (formerly Twitter) @ghostfolio_ or by e-mail via hi@ghostfol.io.

We look forward to hearing from you.
