Pretty self-explanatory. Would love to use some of my extra time to help any OSS projects that fit my skill set (and give back). Any recommendations on best way to find these type of projects?

I ask this as someone who is:

1) Very familiar with react native, its breakage, its dependency hell, and the struggle to get the most simple apps rolling

2) Slightly afraid of full-on XCode and Swift

3) Jaded from React Native, so slightly hesitant to jump onto Flutter

I realize that beggars can't be choosers, but what is the a great way to build mobile apps (iOS mainly) in 2020?

Story: so I tried to login to my bank account via selenium just _once_. After being unsuccessful, I go back to login as normal, and have to change my entire password and verify my account via email.

But that's just my bank.

Accessing Linkedin on a different computer? Gonna need to dig out your old email address password to get the code from that account verification email they just sent.

And god absolutely forbid you should be accessing a Google service from a different/unfamiliar machine. If you don't have a number on file with them (lol), or haven't updated your recovery email in a while, you're legit locked out.

Granted this is a bit of a rant, but why on earth is account verification in this, the year 2020 just such a paranoid, terrible user experience where every company takes an uncreative, heavy-handed approach to identity verification?
