Contribute
As a free and open source application, Manyfold is really built by its community. There are lots of ways to get involved if you’d like to help!
💰 Financial support
Manyfold is a full-time job; you can help pay the bills by becoming a supporter with a regular or one-off financial contribution. And if you're using Manyfold for a business, please consider becoming an official sponsor!
Particularly welcome: regular organisational sponsors, information about funding opportunities
🧑💻 Coding
New code contributors are very welcome (no AI though). Manyfold is mostly built in Ruby on Rails with some Typescript, but there's lots of other aspects too.
Particularly welcome: database query analysis, memory optimisation, JS packaging
🧑🎨 Design / UX
Good design is important, and currently it's a "best effort", but we know we're not experts.
Particularly welcome: usability, user research, graphic design
☁️ Deployment
There are lots of ways to deploy Manyfold instances, but we'd love to make it easier! We'd also love to have maintainers for the deployment scripts on different systems.
Particularly welcome: Yunohost, TrueNAS, Unraid, Synology, Proxmox
🌍 Translation
Manyfold is translated into many languages by volunteer contributors. To join the effort, sign up for an account on translation.io and then get in touch with your username so we can get you set up.
Particularly welcome: Russian, Portuguese
📚 Writing
Our documentation is sparse at best; we'd love to have technical writers involved who can help build a comprehensive user and administration manual, and improve copy within the application.
🐛 Bug reporting & community support
Just using Manyfold and reporting bugs is a really valuable contribution, as is helping out other users in our support channel.
