Appwrite is an open-source backend-as-a-service platform, which means we benefit from the talent and ingenuity of the entire OSS community. In fact, we wouldn’t be where we are today without our amazing contributors, and we make sure to show our appreciation through social media and swags. OSS is where (in our humble opinion) innovation happens, so we’re eager to expand and give back to the community.
We’d love for you to contribute to Appwrite, too! If this is your first time contributing to an OSS project, not to worry — we’re got guides to get you started. You can take a look at the open issues, select one and get working on it.
If you don’t feel comfortable solving issues yet, there are other ways you can contribute:
- Give feedback and report bugs
- Write a blog post about Appwrite
- Improve documentation
- Help someone in the community
Remember to be respectful of other contributors and their time to create a healthier OSS environment.
Most of the action in the Appwrite community happens on our Discord channel, where we have over 19,000 members actively sharing feedback, asking for help, and supporting one another. Our community is a great mix of beginners and senior devs who are always ready to lend a hand.
Here’s what you can do on Discord:
- #announcements: Stay up-to-date with all the latest Appwrite news.
- #general: Connect with other developers, discuss tech trends, or just share some memes.
- #support: Need help? Ask a question, and you’ll get answers.
