We're participating in Hacktoberfest X!

During the month of October this year, the WriteFreely Swift repositories will be accepting pull requests that count towards your contributions for the month-long event.

What's WriteFreely?

WriteFreely is the open source platform for building a writing space on the web. It powers over 500,000 blogs on Write.as, requires few resources to run, and publishes to the Fediverse.

What Are The WriteFreely Swift Repositories?

There are two repositories that make up the WriteFreely iOS and macOS app:

• The writefreely-swift repository is the source for the Swift package that wraps the WriteFreely API for fetching and publishing posts to your WriteFreely instance (including Write.as).
• The writefreely-swiftui-multiplatform repository is the source for the iOS/iPadOS, and macOS client app. It's a SwiftUI multiplatform app, and so there's a lot of code shared between the various platforms, but we dip into UIKit and AppKit where necessary.

How to Participate

1. Register between September 26 and October 31 on the Hacktoberfest website.
2. Check out the writefreely-swift and writefreely-swiftui-multiplatform repositories and review their Code of Conduct and Contributing docs in the root folder.
3. Look for issues tagged #hacktoberfest and claim one by assigning it to yourself.
4. Open a PR and request a review from @writefreely/swift-maintainers.

If your PR meets the criteria set out by the organizers, it'll be merged in to the repo.

We've set up pen.writefree.ly as a demo site for testing. Happy coding!
