Start by examining known issues: https://github.com/damus-io/damus/issues. 96 97 ### Code 98 99 [Email patches][git-send-email] to jb55@jb55.com are preferred, but I accept PRs on GitHub as well. 100 101 [git-send-email]: http://git-send-email.io 102 103 ### Privacy 104 Your internet protocol (IP) address is exposed to the relays you connect to, and third party media hosters (e.g. nostr.build, imgur.com, giphy.com, youtube.com etc.) that render on Damus. If you want to improve your privacy, consider utilizing a service that masks your IP address (e.g. a VPN) from trackers online. 105 106 The relay also learns which public keys you are requesting, meaning your public key will be tied to your IP address. 107 108 ### Translations 109 110 Translators welcome! Join the [Transifex][transifex] project. 111 112 All user-facing strings must have a comment in order to provide context to translators. If a SwiftUI component has a `comment` parameter, use that. Otherwise, wrap your string with `NSLocalizedString` with the `comment` field populated. 113 114 [transifex]: https://explore.transifex.com/damus/damus-ios/ 115 116 ### Awards 117 118 There may be nostr badges awarded for contributors in the future... :) 119 120 First contributors: 121 122 1. @randymcmillan 123 2. @jcarucci27 124 125 ### git log bot 126 127 npub1fjtdwclt9lspjy8huu3qklr7eklp5uq90u6yh8mec290pqxraccqlufnas
