direction for contributing

[mael-hf]

Hello,
I'd like to contribute to flameshot, and found a couple of issues that I'd be interested to work on (namely issue 3208 and 3753), but before I'd like to talk to somebody to know if this is a good idea of if there's not something else (maybe more useful) that I should help on.

Thanks in advance.

Anyone of our community is always more than welcome to contribute to this project. There are typically two ways you can start contributing and mainly they boil down to your proficiency in C++. If you are comfortable with the language, pick up the issues that you like to investigate and address. If you are looking for easier tasks, we have labeled them with good first issue

I can also suggest a complementary approach: try to review the existing pull requests. Doing this would:

1. Help you understand the codebase starting from smaller chunks
2. Give you insight on how a pull request discussion can go
3. Help the project by having more eyes on the codebase, which means less bugs and less security issues

I can also suggest joining the Matrix channels as that is the fastest to reach out to active devs (link in our website: https://flameshot.org )

Last but not least, thank you for willing to help this great project :)
