Welcome! We're happy that you're interested in helping Census Reporter.

There are a few issues in our GitHub issue tracker which we think are a decent challenge to tackle. Lorena told me there might be interest in Javascript hacking as well as python, so I've got two lists:

• #19 Problems with apostrophes and periods in place names?
• #44 Create sitemap.xml for profile pages, etc.
• #47 XLS downloads report an error on open
• #109 Add links to Narrative Profiles (could also be JS)
• #111 Topical help: sort "getting started" ahead of alphabetic sort
• #116 Server error which should be 404
• #119 Geodata downloads have extraneous layers

• #56 "Embed this Chart" UI should show a preview
• #91 Strange map flicker on feature hover in Firefox
• #98 don't show big map on small screens for new locate page
• #109 Add links to Narrative Profiles (could also be Python)
• #114 scroll-to-zoom for 'map' data view?
• #117 Removing active layer on map leaves you without anything to see
• #120 Find in page throws off row hightlights

I'm here to help you get set up for local development. It is a process which is sometimes a bit involved, or sometimes goes pretty quickly, depending on the state of your computer and which part of the app you want to work on.
