Starting Open Source as a non-dev

Hello everyone,

so firstly I’m actually not a dev, rather I am a designer without really valuable coding skills. However, since vibe coding became somewhat easy and as a designer I still understand products and such I built it my own electron-based app, using vibe coding tools. I came pretty far and like what it can do. However, there are timewise and technical limitations holding me back finalising everything and making it really production ready and bringing it out to the world. So I’m thinking on going open-source with it asking for contributions, but still cannot precisely imagine as a non-coder to review pull requests and such preventing code or the app to crash. So my question would be on how this can be done for non-devs or do you see any workaround? My personal wish on this would be more acting as a Product/Design Owner while having devs helping out to make the whole thing reality and accessible for people.

Many thanks in advance for your advice.
