Contribution Guidelines

Thanks for submitting your entry to Awesome IPFS! Please ensure your pull request adheres to the following guidelines:

Content Policy

Entries are accepted if they meet the following criteria:

• Entries must use IPFS
• Entries in the apps & tools categories must be open-source and contain a link to their source code.
• Entries in the services & platforms category must contain a clear description of how they relate to IPFS and avoid marketing buzzwords.
• Entries must be immediately usable (eg. nothing that is paywall-only, even a free trial would be ok).
• Entries must have a clear license and/or privacy policy where applicable.
• Entries must respect the IPFS Community Code of Conduct.

1. Before submitting

• Search previous suggestions before making a new one, as yours may be a duplicate.
• If you just created something, wait at least a couple of weeks before submitting.
• Review the content policy to ensure your submission meets the requirements.

2. Creating a submission

Make an individual pull request for each suggestion:

Style tips:

• Keep descriptions short and simple, but descriptive.
• Don't mention IPFS in the description as it's implied.
• Start the description with a capital and end with a full stop/period.
• Check your spelling and grammar.

3. Submitting it through a PR

• The pull request should have a useful title and include a link to the package and why it should be included.
• Submit products when they are useable, or at a state which has something to show which is awesome in itself. This cuts down on half-finished implementations.

Thank you for your suggestions!
