Contribution Guidelines

Please note that this project is released with a Contributor Code of Conduct. By participating in this project you agree to abide by its terms.

Ensure your pull request adheres to the following guidelines:

  • The pull request should have a useful title and include a link to the thing you're submitting and why it should be included.
  • If you just created something, wait at least 20 days before submitting.
  • Search previous suggestions before making a new one, as yours may be a duplicate.
  • If you're submitting a closed source app, include evidence of it being built with Electron.
  • The "Closed Source" section has a very high bar for acceptance. You're at lot more likely to get accepted if you link to a blog post on how you built the app. Don't worry if your submission is declined, you can still submit your app to the official Electron apps list.
  • Submitted open source apps should have a English readme, screenshot of the app in the readme, and a binary for at least one OS, preferably macOS, Linux and Windows.
  • Submitted packages should be tested and documented.
  • Make an individual pull request for each suggestion.
  • Use the following format: [title](link) - Description.
  • Additions should be added to the bottom of the relevant section.
  • Keep descriptions short and simple, but descriptive.
  • Start the description with a capital and end with a full stop/period.
  • Don't mention Electron in the description as it's implied.
  • Don't start the description with A or An.
  • Check your spelling and grammar.
  • Make sure your text editor is set to remove trailing whitespace.
  • New categories or improvements to the existing categorization are welcome, but should be done in a separate pull request.

Thank you for your suggestion!
