Find things to work on

We label issues that we need help with the help wanted tag. We also categorize them with the following tags:

  • cat-bug
  • cat-feature
  • cat-chore
  • cat-performance

These are the main categories that you can work on. We further mark issues with a high-priority tag or a good first issue tag to indicate their importance to the project and subjective level of easiness to get started on respectively. If you don’t see the triaged tag or you see any of the needs-confirmation, needs-repro-script, needs-discussion tags, it may not be wise to start working on these issues.

Here are a few quick links to get you started:

yarn run build
yarn run watch
