How to contribute to Observable

Thanks for using Observable! If you want to get involved or make a contribution to the codebase, please read these guidelines first.

Did you find a bug?

Make sure the bug was not already reported by searching open & closed Github Issues for related terms.
If you're unable to find an open issue addressing the problem, open a new issue. Be sure to include a title and clear description, as much relevant information as possible, and a code sample or an executable test case demonstrating the expected behavior that is not occurring.

Did you write a patch that fixes a bug?

Open a new GitHub pull request with the patch.
Ensure the PR description clearly describes the problem and solution. Include the relevant issue number.

Do you want to add a new feature or change an existing one?

Suggest your change in the Observable forum to discuss your idea with our team and user community.
Wait until you have collected positive feedback about the suggested change from members of the Observable team before opening a new Github issue or submitting a pull request.

Do you have questions about the platform or its source code?

Ask any question about how Observable works or how to use it in the forum.
Or if you prefer, email support@observablehq.com and our team will get back to you.

Thank you!
