there are multiple ways to contribute to CONNECT platform, but before that, if you are not familiar with it, please checkout our website and the readme file first. you might want to read this to form a more clear idea of the intention behind the project, and it is highly recommended to to checkout our guides and try the platform, if you haven't already.
Here are the main ways to contribute to CONNECT platform:
CONNECT platform is built for developers, so an extremely important but also extremely easy thing you can do is to give it a try and give us feedback, either via this discord server, creating issues, dropping us an email, etc.
if you want to set it up on your own machines for trying it, check this guide out.
although all javascript packages are usable on CONNECT platform, it is more convinient to have CONNECT packages as then you would be truly exploiting the potential of the platform. developing such packages is extremely easy, and if you wish to do so, here is a guide for you.
if you are more of a hands-on kind of person who prefers to code and read other codes instead of guides and docs, we've got you covered as well. just take a look at this repo for a start, and perhaps repos like this or this one as for nice examples.
you can develop any packages that you choose to, however, packages in the following domains would be most helpful to us ATM:
- SDKs for popular (web) services, think MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Telegram Bot API, Kafka, etc.
- wrappers for popular backend Node.js packages
when you are done with your package, do not forget to submit a pull request to this repo so that it can be showcased to anyone utilizing CONNECT platform.
this comes without saying, but as with any other open-source project, it is really appreciated if you could checkout the currently open issues and create according pull requests, or add issues of your own.
