๐Ÿค How to contribute

  • The most improtant thing is I do not want someone's code. This project is maintaining only by me and I want it to be this way. Creating Pull Requests will not have much sense as they will probably be closed.
  • Place your suggestions on Issues with Suggestion Needed label. When the issue has this label that means I seek new ideas on how to improve what I already propose. Feel free to tell me what's on your mind!
  • Join Matrix server. You can share your ideas, make bug reports and just chat with me on my Matrix server!
  • Share your ideas and suggestions. Your ideas and suggestions are always welcome, if you miss some feature or got an interesting idea, feel free to create a new Issue.
  • Report bugs. Had a crash or something went wrong? Create a new Issue, the more information you can give the better it is.
  • Translate the app. You can do what I physically cannot - translate the app on multiple languages. For this you can use Hosted Weblate.
  • Enjoy the app. Your best contribution is using my app and enjoying it!
