Looking to Contribute: Some Questions I Have

[kittytree]

Hello,

I'm looking to contribute to this project as I use this application quite often on my system, and had a few questions.

Any issues you'd like prioritized or think would be a good first issue to take a look at?

Also why did you choose to use Meson instead of just using the built in Cargo tool for Rust? I see you had C/C++ background so I'm wondering if it was just what you're used to. Are you open to the idea of switching to just fully use Cargo instead of Meson I was going to try and do that swap first if that's fine with you. (unless I'm wrong on my idea of what Cargo can handle properly I'm still learning the code base and the build)

I see you wanted more code robustness, would you rather I spend some time trying to add better error handling?

Thanks,
kittytree.

Meson is used to build the non rust parts like the locale stuff and compile the resources used by GTK. Meson has excellent tooling for that and it is how most of the GTK projects do it. Then it invokes cargo to build the rust code.

Feel free to contribute to whatever you feel like. Better error handling is a good first step.

Is it still worth contributing right now? The project has quite a few issues that seem to be unhandled, are you looking for more maintainers to oversee PRs and handle bug reports etc? /genuine
