If you find something interesting, leave a comment describing how you think the issue can be solved (files to be changed, etc) or ask for clarification.

Hi everyone!

My name is Danilo de Melo, and I'm a Software Engineer with over three years of experience, primarily focused on mobile and backend development. I'm also currently a student at the University of Brasília.

I chose Oppia because I was looking for an open-source project with a meaningful cause that aligns with my skills. I truly love the idea of contributing to making education a human right.

I'll be starting my contribution as part of a university subject requirement, and I am also deeply interested in applying for GSoC with Oppia.

Hi @EngDann,

Thanks for your interest in contributing to Oppia Android! Looking forward to working with you.

[thevedantchourey]

Hi Oppia team! 👋

My name is Vedant Chourey, and I’m a final-year B.Tech Computer Science student.
I’ve been developing Android apps using Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and Firebase.
I’m very excited to start contributing to Oppia Android, learn from experienced mentors, and eventually apply for GSoC 2026 with Oppia.

Glad to be here — and I’ll try to learn with every bug, feature, and challenge! 💪

My first freelance project is live on the Play Store — please do check it out:
👉 ApplyWisee

[manas-yu]

Hi Vedant! Welcome to Oppia!
Great to have you here. Excited to see your contributions and GSoC journey ahead. ApplyWisee looks great too!
You can get started by checking out Wiki and browsing Good First issues. Happy coding!

[thevedantchourey]

Thanks! 👋 I’m excited to be here — thanks for the warm welcome. I’ve set up the Oppia Android project locally and am looking for a good first issue to start with. If anyone recommends a beginner-friendly Android issue or task I can take on, I’d really appreciate the guidance. I’m comfortable with Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and Android Studio — and would be happy to help with UI/UX, Jetpack Compose, Firebase, third-party library integrations, or small logic fixes. Please let me know, if there’s any beginner-friendly Android issue I can pick up to get started. 🙂

My name is Chrinovic Mukeba, a Junior Android Developer experienced with Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, MVVM, Firebase, and REST API integration. I’m looking to start contributing to open-source projects, and I’m really interested in the work you’re doing on this project.

As this would be my first open-source contribution, I’d love to help with:

fixing beginner-friendly issues,

improving UI components or code structure,

adding documentation,

or any task you think would be a good starting point.

I’m motivated, open to learning, and ready to contribute consistently.
Please let me know how I can get started or if there’s a good issue for me to pick up.
