# Contributing
|

Thank you for considering contributing to Iced! Feel free to read [the ecosystem overview] and [the roadmap] to get an idea of the current state of the library.
|
|
|
|
The main advice for new contributors is to share your ideas with the community. Introduce yourself over our [Zulip server] or [start a discussion in an issue](https://github.com/hecrj/iced/issues) explaining what you have in mind (do not be afraid of duplicated issues!). If you want to talk directly to me (@hecrj), you can also find me on Discord (`lone_scientist#9554`).
|
|
|
|
This is a very important step. It helps to coordinate work, get on the same page, and start building trust. Please, do not skip it! Remember that [Code is the Easy Part] and also [The Hard Parts of Open Source]!

|
Provided you get in touch first, all kinds of contributions are welcome! Here are a few interesting ideas:
|
|
|
|
- New widgets: toggle, table, grid, color picker, video...
|
|
- New renderers: `iced_piet` (already in the works!), `iced_skia`, `iced_raqote`, `iced_pathfinder`...
|
|
- New shells: `iced_sdl` could be useful for gamedev!
|
|
- Better style generation for `iced_web`
|
|
- Optimizations for `iced_wgpu`: tiling, incremental rendering...
|
|
- Alternative to [`wgpu_glyph`] for proper (shaped), efficient text rendering
|
|
- Time travelling debugger built on top of Iced itself
|
|
- Testing library
|
|
- Cool website to serve on https://iced.rs
|
|
|
|
Besides directly writing code, there are many other different ways you can contribute. To name a few:
|
|
|
|
- Writing tutorials or blog posts
|
|
- Improving the documentation
|
|
- Submitting bug reports and use cases
|
|
- Sharing, discussing, researching and exploring new ideas
