Code of Conduct

First things first: Be nice! We follow the Contributor Covenant. In short:

  • Be respectful and inclusive
  • No harassment, trolling, or spamming
  • Gracefully accept constructive criticism
  • Focus on what’s best for the community

Remember, behind every GitHub username is a real person who, like you, loves smooth transitions!

How Can I Contribute?

There are many ways to contribute to SSGOI:

  1. Code Contributions: Got an idea for a new transition effect? Found a bug that’s making transitions jankier than a rusty door hinge? Dive into the code!

  2. Documentation: Help us make our docs clearer than a freshly Windex-ed window. Typos, unclear explanations, or missing information - all fair game!

  3. Bug Reports: If you find a bug, report it! But remember, “It doesn’t work” is about as helpful as a chocolate teapot. Give us details!

  4. Feature Requests: Have an idea that’ll make SSGOI even more awesome? We’re all ears!

  5. Spreading the Word: Love SSGOI? Tell the world! Tweet about it, blog about it, skywrite about it (okay, maybe not that last one).

Coding Guidelines

  • Use TypeScript. It’s like JavaScript, but with superpowers!
  • Follow the existing code style. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
  • Comment your code. Your future self (and other contributors) will thank you.
  • Keep your transitions smooth and your code smoother.

Documentation Guidelines

  • Be clear and concise. Imagine you’re explaining to a rubber duck.
  • Use examples. Lots of examples. Did we mention examples?
  • Keep the humor. We’re serious about transitions, not about being serious.
  • If you can explain it with a GIF, do it. Everyone loves a good GIF.

Community and Communication

Remember, every contribution, no matter how small, moves us closer to a world of buttery-smooth page transitions. Together, we can make the web a more delightful place, one transition at a time!
