We are accepting focused contributions, especially small bug fixes, reliability fixes, performance improvements, and maintenance work.
If you are preparing a downstream fork, use the rebrand checklist before making identity-related edits.
You can open an issue or PR, but please do so knowing that Forkara is still early and we are keeping scope, quality, and direction tight.
Large, unfocused, or direction-changing PRs may still be closed quickly.
PRs are automatically labeled with a vouch:* trust status and a size:* diff size based on changed lines.
If you are an external contributor, expect vouch:unvouched until we explicitly add you to .github/VOUCHED.td.
Small, focused bug fixes.
Small reliability fixes.
Small performance improvements.
Tightly scoped maintenance work that clearly improves the project without changing its direction.
Large PRs.
Drive-by feature work.
Opinionated rewrites.
Anything that expands product scope without us asking for it first.
If you open a 1,000+ line PR full of new features, we will probably close it quickly and remember that you ignored the clearly written instructions.
Keep it small.
Explain exactly what changed.
Explain exactly why the change should exist.
Do not mix unrelated fixes together.
If the PR makes anything resembling a UI change, include clear before/after images.
If the change depends on motion, timing, transitions, or interaction details, include a short video.
If we have to guess what changed, we are much less likely to review it.
If you are thinking about a non-trivial change, open an issue first.
That gives you a chance to check whether the direction fits before spending time on a larger patch.
Run the full workspace test suite from the repository root with:
bun run testFor focused web tests, pass paths relative to apps/web through the dedicated root command:
bun run test:web:focused src/path/to/example.test.tsOpening a PR does not create an obligation on our side.
We may close it. We may ignore it. We may ask you to shrink it. We may reimplement the idea ourselves later.
If you are fine with that, proceed.
