The Resin UI is fully implemented but incomplete; there are some components, like
the interface for posting new content, that'll be implemented along side the API
integration. Besides much needed polishing and some consistency improvements, the
UI likely won't change too drastically from this point forward.

## Contributing ## Contributing
This project is still extremely early in development; however, contributions ### Bug testing
are still more than welcome. If you're interested in helping out, the easiest As Resin enters it's beta phase, we're looking for help from bug testers! You
way to get started would be to contact can test it out without running a development server by downloading the
[Expo Go](https://expo.dev/client) app and scanning the following QR code on
your phone:
<div style = "text-align: center">
<img
src="assets/build-qr-code.png"
alt="The QR code of the link to the v1.0-beta build of Resin"
width="400" />
</div>
Or, you can open the app by clicking [this link](exp://exp.host/@njms/Resin) on
your phone.
When you run into a bug, hop on over to the [issues page](https://github.com/natjms/resin/issues) and create a new issue. Make sure you fill out as much of the template as possible to help us determine how to best approach fixing the problem. If you're not comfortable with GitHub, you're welcome to [contact the project maintainer](https://social.njms.ca/nat), however bug tracking through GitHub Issues is greatly preferred and there's no guarantee we'll see your message if you try to send it through another channel.
#### A note on current limitations
Note that there are a number of issues with this app related to Pixelfed API endpoints that haven't been exposed yet. These are problems that cannot be fixed on our end, but are currently being worked on by the Pixelfed team. Until these endpoints are exposed, a number of features, including the likes of bookmarks, direct messages and updating your profile won't work and using these interfaces may have some unintended side effects. For more information and for a full list of these limitations, check [this list of issues labeled wontfix](https://github.com/natjms/resin/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Awontfix).
#### A note for iOS folks
One of Resin's original goals was to create a Pixelfed client that could be
used on both Android and iOS--something that's somewhat lacking among
Fediverse clients. Unfortunately, due to our lacking access to Apple products,
Resin hasn't formally been tested on iOS.
It's very possible that, should you open it on your iPhone, it'll literally do
nothing. If that doesn't happen, then there's a good chance that there may be
some major issues preventing it from being used. In this case, if you're an iOS
user, have some familiarity with React Native and/or JavaScript and have some
free time to spare, we'd love to have your help in making Resin on iOS a
reality. Otherwise, there's a good chance it'll be a while before Resin is
available on the App Store.
### Contributing code
We're always welcoming new contributors! To start contributing code, feel free
to check out the issues tab. Easy issues are labeled
[good first issue](https://github.com/natjms/resin/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22),
but don't let that limit you if you feel confident with React Native and
JavaScript. If you see an issue hasn't been assigned to anyone, that means no
one's working on it. Drop a reply saying you'd be interested in helping out and
it's all yours.
### Other ways to help out
Resin isn't officially set up to handle translations yet, but that'll be coming
in the near future. There are many ways to help out with a project like this
besides contributing code, from bug testing, to writing and more. Even then, a
lot of the work is more on the philosophical side, in deconstructing the
interfaces of apps like Instagram to best determine how to make Resin as
nonaddictive as possible without making it painful to use.
If you're not sure where to get started, feel free to contact

happy to talk to you about it. happy to hear from you.
