Hey, glad you posted this! I found this project last month through CascadiaJS, and have been looking into finding ways to contribute since then. I have a pretty broad interest across the board, including how Snowpack find and cache files, it's build process, and the infrastructure underneath some of these features.

The last two links are incorrect.

@ralphtheninja fixed! Thanks for reporting.

@thescripted thanks for posting, happy to hear that you're finding the project interesting! Writing tests can be a great way to learn how something works internally, and we have an ongoing effort to add more tests here: #1019

These two are also open issues and would be small enough to get started on:

• [esinstall] "global is not defined" should hint user about --polyfillNode option #1094
• Do not strip non-JS files from install allowlist on build #1144

[FredKSchott]

Update: with the webpack 5 release, we have some improvements that we can make to documentation to better support web workers and file asset references! Great for first contributors!

• Document native asset module reference style #1279
• documentation: Web Worker Support #1280

Also straightforward refactorings can sometimes be a good place to start. We want to prevent future windows bugs by moving form file paths to file: URLs, internally: #1278

Hello, I have found snowpack through the svelte summit, and I would like to work on how we could make snowpack work with angular projects.

Hey guys, I'm new to Snowpack but it seems awesome. I've just been dabbling with a vanilla JS webapp.

I'm trying to get more involved with the OSS community so I'd love to help wherever I can. I'm also learning about WebAssembly currently, so any beginner-friendly WASM issues for me to work on would be awesome.

Btw, I discovered the project through the top GitHub projects.

[FredKSchott]

Awesome that we were on top GH projects! Welcome!

@thesayyn I actually don't know how well Snowpack + Angular works, but would love for someone to look more into it. My guess is that it's hard, given how much tooling Angular provides through the official CLI
