NtBA is built in the open and we want you in it. You don't need to write code.

Share an idea

Every idea belongs in the issue tracker — choose the Idea template. If it isn't written down, it gets lost, so please log it even if it's half-formed. Look through the existing ideas first and add a 👍 or a comment if someone had it before you.

Find something to work on

• Issues tagged good first issue are small and well scoped.
• Issues tagged help wanted are bigger and we'd love a hand.
• Comment on the issue to say you're taking it, so two people don't build the same thing.
