Hey there! Thanks for your interest in making this project better. we're a small project and every bit of help counts whether it's code, ideas, bug reports, or just encouragement.

How to Get Involved

Found a Bug?

  • Check the issues to see if it’s already reported.
  • If not, open a new issue. The more details you give (steps, logs, screenshots), the easier it is for us to help.

Got an Idea?

  • We love new ideas! Open an issue with the enhancement label and tell us what you’re thinking.
  • Even if it’s just a rough thought, share it we can figure it out together.

Want to Code?

  • Fork the repo and make a branch off main.
  • Keep your changes focused and your commit messages short and clear.
  • If you’re changing something users will see, update the docs too.
  • Test your code before you send a pull request.
  • Link any related issues in your PR (like Closes #123).

Code Style

  • Use Go’s standard style (gofmt is your friend).
  • Keep things simple and readable.
  • Short, clear commit messages are best.

Be Nice

  • We’re all here to learn and build something cool. Please be friendly and respectful.
  • If you see something that’s not okay, let the maintainers know.
