    Complex contributions

    If you have a complex contribution in mind (meaning changes in the architecture or a lot of LOC changed), it is advisable to first file a Github issue and discuss the implementation with the project’s maintainers.

    Coding style

    The coding style for backend and frontend should be consistent. For helping and verifying that, we have go and js linters.

    For linting the backend and frontend, use the following commands (respectively):

    make backend-lint
    
    make frontend-lint
    

    The linters are also run in the CI system, so any PRs you create will be tested for compliance with the coding style.

    To speed up a review from the project’s maintainers, please make sure that the CI checks are passing for your PR.
