This project is open to new ideas - If you think the app could do with a certain feature or want to report a bug, please
- Read through or search the existing list of issues
- If you have additional context (screenshots, scenario) to share that is not already reported in the issue thread, add a comment. If there is no additional context to share but you'd like to highlight that you'd like to see the feature/bug issue addressed, please use the 👍 reaction on the issue.
- If your idea has not already been suggested, please create a new issue, using the "Do something" format ("Add option to create a contact") for feature requests and "Something fails when I do something" format ("App crashes when I enter a Brazilian phone number and click the WhatsApp button") for failures and bug reports.
If you're a developer, you're welcome to contribute code to this project.
- Make sure a Github issue exists for the issue you're interested in addressing (new feature, fixing a bug). Pull requests submitted without an associated GitHub issue will be considered unsolicited, and your efforts may go unused!
- Leave a comment in the issue thread to indicate that you're interested in working on the issue. This ensures that there is no duplication of effort across contributors.
- Commit often - Prefer small commits that address one problem, even if it's only a few lines, versus a large commit that does a lot. This ensures that commits are readable and reviews are faster.
- Uphold code quality - Ensure that code changes are readable, performant and properly tested.
- Open a pull request targeting the
main
branch of this project, including a succinct PR title, a summary of changes in the PR description, a link to the GitHub issue that the PR addresses, steps to test and any additional documentation (links to reference articles/websites, screenshots and/or screencasts) that might be relevant to reviewers. - Be open to a review cycle - Reviewers may seek additional clarifications or flag their concerns. Address comments and push changes to your branch.
