Ways to contribute, without coding, in just 5-10 minutes

[rathboma]

Thank you for supporting Beekeeper Studio! 🎉

Plenty of you wonderful people have asked how to help but don't know how to code in Vue and Electron.

Fear not! There are lots of things you can do to help the project

Help Spread the Word

1. Leave us a text or video testimonial - these help us tell other developers why they should use the app
2. Writing honest (we mean it!) reviews on Slant.co, G2, Alternative To, or Product Hunt
3. Tell your friends! Literally tell someone in person, or (if Covid is still around) via some digital mechanism like chat or Zoom.
4. Share on Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, or Friendster (jk).

The more people that use the app - the better it will get.

File bug reports

If you see something, say something (about bugs)! Please file an issue on this GitHub repository. No quirk is too small for a report. We care about the details.

Make our documentation better

Did you learn how to do something cool in Beekeeper but it wasn't obvious on first try? You can contribute to our documentation!

While our 'finished' docs are hosted on docs.beekeeperstudio.io, the code is right here in this repository -- it's just regular old markdown files.

If you speak another language other than English, you could also open a pull request with a translation for the README.md file, or one of the files in the documentation. If you don't know where to put it, that's fine, we'll help figure it out once it is written.

The ability to view store procedures and what the code looks like

i love it, yet it isnt has a lot of features, if beekeeper studio can equal to dbeaver or even more, it can be the rissing stars, im already love the UI

[rathboma]

Thanks! That's the plan.

@rathboma can i copy part of your ideas into our repo with cc? It looks so helpful for literally any opensource project!

[rathboma]

Sure! No attribution required but a thank you link back is always appreciated :-)

Hello guys! I'm using this in my tutorial on how to connect in mysql using ubuntu wsl. I liked the UI and also I code using Vue and Laravel in my project. Cheers for this 👍 🍺

Check it out guys! Thank you.

Do you have any plans to translate your documentation on other languages? Maybe, I can help your team to translate some guides for Beekeeper on Russian.

[rathboma]

That would be amazing! I am not able to translate myself, but the docs use VuePress, so it's pretty easy to create translations:

https://vuepress.vuejs.org/guide/i18n.html#site-level-i18n-config

Basically you create a new subdirectory with the translated docs in them.

@rathboma in which branch I can create subdir and push translated docs?

[rathboma]

Not sure how used you are too GitHub, but you can 'fork' the repo to your own account and use any branch you like. Then open a pull request when you're ready

@rathboma I guess he meant "Which destination branch should i choose while creating the PR".
As the most Repositories dont instantly merge into the master, which is the case on this repository.
So the answer would be "master" (i hope so).
