PySnippet Guidelines

When contributing to PySnippet projects, please follow the PySnippet guidelines. We want to keep our community open and inclusive, and we expect all contributors to follow the code of conduct in all PySnippet projects.

If you have an existing project that you would like to move to PySnippet's GitHub organization, you can follow the GitHub docs about transferring a repository to another organization. After you request a transfer, we will receive an email and review your project. It would be great if the project has tests and documentation. If it does not, we will help you with that.

We believe that the best ideas can come to anyone's mind, and we always look for talented and innovative developers to join our community which is always eager to help new contributors. We can assist you through the implementation process. However, if you are thinking of creating a new open-source software, it's not easy to come up with a unique and valuable idea. Here are some tips to help you unleash your creativity and generate new project ideas.

Investigate the implementation of the most-liked features: Explore the functionality and implementation of existing open-source packages and modules. By delving into the implementation of your most-liked features of the modules, you may discover valuable techniques and solutions that can inspire new ideas for your projects.
Face with unique issues: More experienced developers might have encountered unique challenges that existing packages or libraries do not address. If you have come up with an idea that could potentially be useful to others, we encourage you to create your open-source project on top of that.
Start with a problem: Look for a problem that you or other developers face, and think of ways to solve it with a new project. By solving a problem, you are more likely to create a project that is useful and valuable to others.
Draw inspiration from existing projects: Look at successful open-source projects that are similar to what you want to create. Then, think of ways to improve upon them, add new features, or offer a unique spin.
Collaborate with others: Work with other developers and discuss potential project ideas together. Two heads are better than one, and collaborating with others can help generate new ideas and fresh perspectives.
Experiment with new tools and technologies: Explore new programming languages, libraries, and frameworks that you haven't used before. Experimenting with new tools can spark new ideas and inspire you to create something different.
Look beyond coding: Consider non-coding aspects of software development, such as user experience design, documentation, testing, and community building. There may be new project ideas in these areas that are waiting to be explored.

When it comes to thinking of an idea for a new open-source project, creativity is not always the key. The best ideas often come from a combination of hard work, experimentation, and collaboration.
