Contributing

There is always need for help, you can join the developer, sending patches or translating the UI to your favourite language.

Also there is need for better documentation.

And a fancy logo would be great too! :)

Just point your browser to the code repository.

Some Notes

Please understand that tinmop is a very opinionated client and with a someway radical approach to social networks. The developer tried to offer a "degamified" experience to the user.

This means that, in particular, i will not accept patches or requests for:

• implementing mentioning or other alerts system;
• trending, hashtags/people suggested, etc.;
• count of followers, people you are following.

I think you get the idea ;-)

Also i try to hide as much as information i can to the server so i won't implement muting or blocking. Ignore the toot for annoying user configuring the client to do so, instead.

Finally before starting coding like a crazy it is better to discuss the general idea with the developers, this way will be more unlikely that the patch will be rejected and our time wasted.

And do not forget to have fun!

Translations

To help with translations please go here.

Alternatively, translation template can be found in po/tinmop.pot in gettext format, there are a bunch of free software editor to work with this file or you can just use emacs.

So far the only completed translation is in Italian.
