# Damus Web
Here lies the code for the Damus web app, a client for the Nostr protocol. The
goal of this client is to be a better version of Twitter, but not to reproduce
all of it's functionality.
[Issue Tracker](https://todo.sr.ht/~tomtom/damus-web-issues)
## Contribution Guide
There are rules to contributing to this client. Please ensure you read them
before making changes and supplying patch notes.
- No transpilers. All source code should work out of the box.
- Keep source code organised. Refer to the folder structure. If you have a
question, ask it.
- Do not include your personal tools in the source code. Use your own scripts
outside of the project. This does not include build tools such as Make.
- Use tabs & write JS with snake_case. End of discussion.
- Do not include binary files.
- No NPM (and kin) environments. If you need a file from an external resource
mark the location in the "sources" file and add it to the repo.
- No frameworks. Learn the browser tools and write good code.
- No experimental browser APIs.
- Do not write animations in JavaScript, CSS only. Keep them short and snappy.
Animations should not be a forefront, but an enjoyable addition.
- All new & modified code should be properly documented.
- Source code should be readable in the browser.
These rules are subject to discussion.
