## Contributing without coding knowledge
|
|
|
|
Writing code is not the only way how you can contribute to the project. Here are some ideas how you can help out otherwise:
|
|
|
|
- Help improving the documentation (text, typos, use cases, screenshots - all this makes things better)
|
|
- Share your favorite project on socials (see [Growth ideas](./GROWTH.md))
|
|
- Write a blog post, or a how-to set-up guide
|
|
- Write how it helped you to achieve something fun or interesting to simplify your personal or work life
|
|
- Help with the translation effort
|
|
- Running a nightly or dev build to test for bugs before they make it to the production release
|
|
- Report bugs and features with sufficient detail and care (super important to ease everyone's maintenance burden and minimize back-and-forth)
|
|
- running a projects test suite
|

## Use of AI
|
|
|
|
Use of AI-assisted tools is permitted, provided all generated code is reviewed, understood, and verified before submission.
|
|
|
|
- All AI-generated code must meet the project's **quality, security, and performance standards**.
|
|
- Contributors are responsible for **fully understanding** any code they submit, regardless of how it was produced.
|
|
- Prefer **clarity and maintainability over cleverness or brevity**. Readable code is always favored over dense or obfuscated implementations.
|
|
- Follow the **DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle** where appropriate, without sacrificing readability.
|
|
- Do not submit code that you cannot confidently explain or debug.
|
|
|
|
All changes must pass the **full test suite** before opening a PR.

## Submitting Pull Requests (PRs)
|
|
|
|
We welcome PRs to improve the code, docs, or UI!
|
|
|
|
Please:
|
|

|
|
- Preserve existing features unless a breaking change is intentional and discussed
|
|

|
|

|

|
- Switch the PR to DRAFT mode if still being worked on

- PRs that do not meet these guidelines may be closed without review
|
|
|
|
