I just launched my first open-source project and I want to learn how to become a better developer/maintainer. A remote vibe coding tool.

Hey everyone,
I’ve been a developer for a while, but I’ve always been a "lurker" when it comes to open source. Recently, I finally pushed my first project to GitHub: Legax.
It’s a system designed to bridge legal knowledge bases with LLMs (RAG stuff). While I’m happy I actually finished it, I know I have a lot to learn.
Specifically, I’m looking to learn:

  1. Code Quality: Is my project structure a mess? Are there "rookie mistakes" in my logic?
  2. Open Source Best Practices: How do I make this repo more "contributor-friendly"?
  3. Documentation: Is my README clear enough for someone who isn't me?
    I’m not looking for stars as much as I’m looking for a "code roast" or some honest feedback. If you have experience in Python/LLMs or just general project management, I’d love for you to take a look and tell me what I’m doing wrong.

Thanks for helping a newbie out!

Just released my first open-source project (Legax) – looking for some feedback!

Hey everyone,
I’ve been working on this for a while now and finally built up the courage to push my first open-source project to GitHub. It’s called Legax.
Basically, I wanted to create a more standardized way to bridge legal knowledge bases with LLMs, especially for people who need things to be private and local. It’s still pretty early stage and definitely a bit "rough around the edges," but the core logic is there.
Since this is my first time officially doing the open-source thing, I’m honestly a bit nervous about the code quality and the project structure. I’d love it if some of you could take a look and let me know what I’m doing wrong or what could be improved.
Whether it's a code review, a suggestion for a new feature, or just some advice on how to manage a repo properly—I'm all ears.

Thanks for your time!
