What is Ocal's Community Code of Conduct?
We are committed to providing a friendly, respectful, and harassment-free environment for everyone, regardless of experience level, background, gender, or identity. We value constructive collaboration, curiosity, and mutual respect.
How do I submit a bug report that developers can quickly fix?
When filing an issue on GitHub, include your Windows version (e.g. Windows 11 23H2), your Ocal version, concise step-by-step reproduction instructions, and screenshots or error logs if available.
Can I propose new features or design overhauls?
Absolutely! Start an RFC discussion thread on GitHub Discussions or pitch your idea in the #ideas channel in Discord. The team and community will discuss feasibility, ergonomics, and implementation details.
How can I support Ocal without writing code?
You can star the project on GitHub, recommend Ocal Browser and Ocal Screen to friends, write a blog post about your setup, or answer questions from newcomers in our Discord server.
