Please open a discussion before starting work on a feature you intend to contribute back to this repo. Keep the following guidelines in mind:
- We try to keep the app very minimal, so not all features will be a good fit for inclusion.
- All features must be usable with the keyboard, using a screen reader, and on a mobile device.
- Features involving generative machine learning models will not be considered.
Bug-fixing PRs are always welcome.
If you discover a security issue with the app, please contact me directly. All security research should be performed on a private instance.
