Looking to contribute to open source? Happy to help you get started on Kafka lag monitoring

Hey folks —

I’m the maintainer of Klag (klag.dev) — a Kafka consumer lag exporter that started as a maintained alternative after kafka-lag-exporter was archived.

I’ve been really glad to hear from people running it in production, and I’d love more of the community involved in shaping it. If you’ve been wanting a small, friendly OSS entry point in the Kafka space, I’d be happy to help you get unstuck — whether that’s picking a first issue, reviewing a PR, or talking through a feature idea.

There’s a curated board of good-first issues and open discussions for features/devs here:
https://github.com/themoah/klag/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22

Happy to answer questions in the comments.
