Hi Mariam,
Glad you are interested in this project, I'm one of the people who put
the idea forward.

I'd say a good first step would be to install the project locally and
tinker with it a bit:
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/discover/

You can also read up on how discover backends work within the codebase.
This would be a good starting point:
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/discover/-/blob/master/libdiscover/resources/AbstractResourcesBackend.h

For any further questions don't hesitate to ask directly.
