Contributing

Thank you for helping. Everything in roobli is public, so a clear issue, a small pull request and an accurate document are all contributions.

Where a change belongs

Work in the repository that owns the change. The licenses differ on purpose, so a patch for one does not move to another.

Repository	What it is	License	The check that must pass
Noto	The desktop editor	AGPL-3.0-only	`pnpm verify`
md	`@roobli/md`, Noto's Markdown engine	MIT	`pnpm verify`
Noto.docs	The product and documentation site	not yet set	`pnpm check:roundtrip && pnpm docs:build`
canvas	`@roobli/canvas`, an experimental React kit	MIT	`pnpm verify`
noto-plugin-template	A scaffold for Noto plugins	MIT	—
holt	A file-backed task ledger, separate from Noto	MIT	`pnpm typecheck && pnpm test`

Node 22 and pnpm 11 everywhere. Noto's README explains the one extra setup step its Electron binary needs.

Read Direction for what Noto is and is not trying to be. A feature that serves writing and reading Markdown files is welcome; one from the list of things Noto will not build needs a conversation first, in an issue.
For anything larger than a fix, open an issue that describes the problem before writing the code.

One change, with the reason in the description.
The repository's check passes locally.
Tests for behaviour, and a regression test for a bug.
Documentation changed in the same pull request when behaviour changes: the repository's docs/, its README, or the docs site.
Screenshots for anything you can see.

Private material. No personal notes, note titles, folder names, local paths, hostnames or credentials in code, tests, fixtures, screenshots or documents. Fixtures are synthetic. Screenshots use a demo folder.
Renaming plugin IDs under dev.lr00rl.noto.*. They are stored in people's enablement files, so they are stable on purpose.
Typora code, markup, assets, strings or themes. Typora is a behaviour reference only.

Report vulnerabilities privately, as described in SECURITY.md, not in a public issue.
