To improve the app, we need your idea! It could be a new feature or an improvement for existing features. If you have any, please create a discussion in Feature Requests category.
There are many ways to help our community. You can share how you're using our app by writing an article. You can write it in General discussion page, external developer community (Dev.to or Reddit) and your blog if you have one.
Also, you can help other users by answering their questions in here.
We have left the "help wanted" label to some issues which external contributors could try to resolve. Some of them might have a small bounty so you can get a cup of coffee from it after hacking. If you find any interesting issues but their specs are not clear or you don't know how to fix them, please leave a comment on the issues. Then, we will give you more instructions.
Currently, we provide the frontend source code only so you cannot host our backend server by yourself. But you can participate in development via mock backend mode. Although it still doesn't cover every API yet, you can access the basic folder and document management.
Create .env file.

BOOST_HUB_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3004Run webpack processors. You have to run them in separate terminals.
npm run dev:cloud
# You can skip next two scripts if you don't need to run electron app.
npm run dev:electron
npm run dev:webpackWhen the mode is enabled, all API calls will be passed to src/cloud/api/mock/mockHandler.ts.
The source code is quite similar to a router interface. All you need to is method, pathname and a handler function. So, when you confront Not Found error while calling GET /api/something, you can simply add a mock route like below.
{
method: 'get',
pathname: 'api/something',
handler: ({ search }): GetSomethingResponse => {
return {
...something
}
},
