Hello, I'd like to start contributing if you'll have me. I created a logo and did up a small style guide. I'd like to clean up the docs (set it up with something like readthedocs/gh pages or something) and add Docker support too.

  1. All contributions are welcome
  2. First of all, lovely. I am working on the docs, I'd love if your willing to take over on that job.
  3. Please keep your PR titles descriptive.
  4. I like the icon but do design a few more (who know what we'll get, I usually get my best designs after chucking the first few...)
  5. Gh-pages is cool. But I'd rather you it served as a landing page for users. The docs will be mostly used only by coders. Markdown is easier to handle for us coders than a webpage. We can discuss this when we get to it.
  6. I'll look through the changes and merge them as soon as possible but please give me a week.

I looked through your code works, I assume your really good at js and decent at python. There's a GUI framework i plan to work on, wanna help out there too?

P.S. Your collaboration beats are dope.

Awesome! I'm very easy going and willing to learn. I consider myself intermediate but that can be relative depending on the kind of people I'm around. Please don't hesitate to deny any requests, I'm not the type of person to ever get upset about that sort of thing.

First of all, lovely. I am working on the docs, I'd love if your willing to take over on that job.
Yep, I'd be very happy to take over that job and it would be a good fit. If you have a plan of how you would like things done let me know, I'm happy to just roll with it otherwise.

I'd like to see if I could help push a Git project out of the realm of just coders being involved, which is why I've added things like the logo, color scheme (I just borrowed Spotify's colors) and a style guide so it bleeds into graphics design, possibly towards video, and social media (I believe this will be just as important as building applications in the future). If you've got any ideas, feel free to send them my way or if you want to keep the project minimal I'm cool with that too.

P.S. Your collaboration beats are dope.
Cheers man much appreciated! You into Hip Hop or music production at all?

I'm into music (weirrrrddddd music if I'm allowed to say so). I do some fine tuning on auditions but that's about it.

We think alike, wow! I want this project to grow beyond coders - a.k.a, I wanna make a gui so everyone can user it. I'm writing on a new framework on which I could use some Javascript and DOM help (if your interested, I'll send you an invite to the dev team)

I do have a few ideas, I'll send them your way tmrw or day after.

The icon you designed is good (way better than mine) but, could you design a few more? Send me the rough pencil concepts, let's see if we can improve.

Not yet, I'll jump on it this weekend. Did you have any specific ideas in mind?

Not really. I'm kinda looking at at least 10 pencil (or pen or what ever you use) sketched concept icons

I was looking at 'bulk', not simplicity. Basically, more ideas in total -> better chances of a good one. I like the decond one, plan to make a small modification, i'll put it up, tell me if you like it.

What do you think?

It's a mashup of your 'simplified' logo and spotify's logo. Feel free to mess around/modify it as you wish.

Awesome, I can refine this. I see the direction you want to go.

Nah, Nah, not direction I want to go.... It's just another idea. A logo should represent purpose, the earlier ones do, but not completely. So the alternate design SUGESSION

All I can say is, the whole "unique by attrition" is working, I used to think that spotify was unique till a few seconds ago...

Line restates itself a bit, and also shouldn't use gender pronouns. Opt for The user instead of he/she/them.
Also the line doesn't make much sense, perhaps:
