Hey friends, 

You will find in this article last month's most talked about open-source projects on Product Hunt 🚀

If you are interested in contributing to open source projects (especially ahead of Hacktoberfest!), you can use [quira.sh](https://quira.sh/?utm_source=devto&utm_campaign=first_product_hunt_repos)'s free tool to find the best repos based on your language and topic of preference! 

Btw, we have been cooking something pretty cool at quira.sh that many of you will be happy to hear about. We will release this at the start of Hacktoberfest! 🔥
