Community​

💭 GitHub Discussions​

We have a discussions page where users can ask usage questions, discuss design decisions, and propose new features.

If you are able to help answer questions, please do so! This will allow the maintainers to spend more time focused on development and bug fixing.

🚩 GitHub Issues​

Our issues page is kept up to date with bugs, improvements, and feature requests.

There is a taxonomy of labels to help with sorting and discovery of issues of interest. Please use these to help organize issues. Check out the Help Wanted and Good First Issue tags for recommendations.

If you start working on an issue, please assign it to yourself.

If you are adding an issue, please try to keep it focused on a single, modular bug/improvement/feature. If two issues are related, or blocking, please link them rather than combining them.

We will try to keep these issues as up-to-date as possible, though with the rapid rate of development in this field some may get out of date. If you notice this happening, please let us know.

📢 Community Slack​

We have a community slack where you can ask questions, get help, and discuss the project with other contributors and users.

🙋 Getting Help​

Our goal is to have the simplest developer setup possible. Should you experience any difficulty getting setup, please ask in community slack or open a discussion on GitHub.

In a similar vein, we do enforce certain linting, formatting, and documentation standards in the codebase. If you are finding these difficult (or even just annoying) to work with, feel free to ask in community slack!
