# How can I contribute to the library?
There are multiple ways to contribute even without writing code

## Ways to contribute

* Share your feedback in [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/mantinedev/mantine/discussions/categories/feedback) –
  we are always happy to hear your thoughts on how to make Mantine better. Most of the new features and components
  are based on the feedback we receive from the community.
* Help others on [Discord](https://discord.gg/wbH82zuWMN) and/or [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/mantinedev/mantine/discussions). There are usually 10-20 new questions every day,
  you can help people with their issues and questions. While helping others, you will learn yourself and become
  more proficient with React and Mantine.
* Give us a code review. You are welcome to explore `@mantine/*` packages [source code](https://github.com/mantinedev/mantine)
  and provide your feedback on how we can improve it. We are always open to new ideas and suggestions.
* Send us some [kind words](https://github.com/mantinedev/mantine/discussions/categories/kind-words). We usually receive only
  bug reports and feature requests, it is always nice to hear that people enjoy working with Mantine.
* Star the project on [GitHub](https://github.com/mantinedev/mantine). It is a small thing that helps us grow and get more
  people interested in the project.
* [Contribute](https://mantine.dev/contribute) to the Mantine codebase. We welcome all kinds of contributions: if you do not have much
  experience with React/TypeScript, you can help us improve the documentation to make it more clear and understandable
  for new developers. If you are an experienced React developer, you can help us with open [issues](https://github.com/mantinedev/mantine/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22help+wanted%22).

## How to contribute to the codebase

* Decide on what you want to contribute.
* If you would like to implement a new feature, discuss it with the maintainer ([GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/mantinedev/mantine/discussions/new) or [Discord](https://discord.gg/wbH82zuWMN)) before jumping into coding.
* After finalizing the issue details, you can begin working on the code.
* Run tests with `npm test` and submit a PR once all tests have passed.
* Get a code review and fix all issues noticed by the maintainer.
* If you cannot finish your task or if you change your mind – that's totally fine! Just let us know in the GitHub issue that you created during the first step of this process. The Mantine community is friendly – we won't judge or ask any questions if you decide to cancel your submission.
* Your PR is merged. You are awesome ❤️!
