👾 Join Matrix!
Want to have an active influence over the app development? Join my Matrix server! You will not only see development notes (such as screenshots of new features😉), but also take part in the development by answering my questions, directly requesting features and adjusting features you want when I ask for details. Don't want to create Issue/Bug report? With Matrix you can just write it out and I will manage creation of Issue for you! The key is communication. If you want to see the app moving in the direction you would want it to, then I need your help!
⚠️ I found a bug, what to do?
With new features there may be bugs, especially with big ones. If you found a bug, please tell me in Issues. If an error is in text parsing, please also provide file(book) in which you found an issue and tell me where an issue happened. This way I can see the issue myself, test and fix it.
🔮 I want a new feature, how to see it in the app?
If you want to request a new feature, you may create a new issue with enhancement label. Considering how hard or big it is, it may take some time to implement it, of course, if I agree to do it with all circumstances.
