Contributor Guide

Contributors help OpenLib stay accurate, useful, and welcoming.

Ways to contribute #

• Submit missing open-source apps.
• Improve descriptions, tags, categories, and source links.
• Review app metadata for accuracy.
• Report broken links or unsafe entries.
• Improve documentation.
• Help answer community questions.

Content standards #

Write descriptions that are factual, concise, and verifiable. Prefer "what it does" over hype.

Edit requests #

Use edit requests for changes to public app listings. Include a short reason and, when possible, a source link that confirms the correction.

Review etiquette #

• Be specific about what needs to change.
• Do not attack maintainers, submitters, or project authors.
• Separate personal preference from factual accuracy.
• Flag conflicts of interest when reviewing your own project.

Documentation contributions #

Docs are stored in Markdown under docs/content/. Each page has front matter metadata and is generated into /docs/ pages.
