Technical Contributions

  • 🪲 Report Bugs and Issues: As a user, you're in a great position to notice bugs or quirks in the launcher. If you spot something, please submit a bug report on GitHub. The more details you include, the easier it will be for us to investigate and fix the issue. You're also welcome to discuss issues in our community.
  • 🔨 Code Contributions: If you're comfortable with code, we welcome your help fixing bugs, building features, or improving performance. The source code is available on GitHub. Be sure to check the CONTRIBUTING.md for guidelines before submitting a pull request.

    The launcher is built using electron, and has a backend part (nodejs) and a frontend part for the ui (react)

  • 🌎 Translations: The launcher now ships with 14 locales, and we’re ready to keep expanding. If you’re fluent in another language, check the translation contribution guide for tips on reviewing existing strings or adding a brand-new locale.
