# Hacktoberfest 2025

2025-09-27

Ghostfolio is joining Hacktoberfest for the fourth time and we are looking forward to meeting new open-source contributors along the way. Every year in October, Hacktoberfest celebrates open source by highlighting projects, maintainers, and contributors from around the globe. Open source maintainers dedicate extra time to support new contributors while guiding them through their first pull requests on GitHub.

## Meet Ghostfolio: a modern Dashboard for Personal Finance

Ghostfolio is a web application that makes it easy to manage your personal finances. It aggregates your assets and helps you make informed decisions to balance your portfolio or plan future investments.

The software is fully written in TypeScript and organized as an Nx workspace, utilizing the latest framework releases. The backend is based on NestJS in combination with PostgreSQL as a database together with Prisma and Redis for caching. The frontend is developed with Angular.

With over 200 contributors, the OSS project is used daily by a growing global community. Ghostfolio counts more than 6’500 stars on GitHub and 1’600’000+ pulls on Docker Hub, standing out for its simple and user-friendly experience.

## How you can make an impact

Every contribution makes a difference. Whether it is implementing new features, resolving bugs, refactoring code, enhancing documentation, adding unit tests, or translating content into another language, you can actively shape our project.

New to our codebase? No worries! We have labeled a few issues with `hacktoberfest` that are ideal for newcomers.

The official Hacktoberfest website provides some valuable resources for beginners to start contributing in open source.
