Questions about the Project

[lukadd16]

Given that this project is in a public repository and is "open source", this (at least to me) implies you are willing to accept contributions from the community (whether that be people who use your software or who happen to stumble upon it). That being said, there is no publicly available roadmap for this project that lists planned features nor are there any indicators in general as to what prospective contributors could be helping out with (and contributions don't always need to take the form of code either).

If I'm wrong in concluding that this project is open to contributions, then you might want to rethink the decision to make this repository public or at least make it obvious in the README that contributions aren't being accepted.

However, if my observation is correct, then I have a few suggestions as to how you can make this project more inviting and organized:

• [ ] Create a CONTRIBUTING.md file that outlines how and in what capacity someone can contribute to this project. This file is also the place to mention any idiosyncrasies of your development process and any specific guidelines that a code contributor should follow (e.g. lint your code before committing).
• [ ] Create GitHub issue, bug fix, pull request and feature request templates. This ensures that a consistent format is used in all future issues/PRs and allows you to specify what kind of information you want from the person opening the issue or PR (e.g. Describe the bug you are experiencing, list steps to reproduce this bug, etc).
• [ ] (a bit off topic but) Add useful GitHub actions to the repository, things like linting Python code when changes are pushed to master branch or automatically generated releases are all possible.
• [ ] Create a Project Board and/or add a section in the README that lists some short-term/long-term goals you have for this project.

If you agree with some of these suggestions, then I'd be more than happy to help you implement them - just let me know.

I would do all of this, but this project is sort of dead as PCPartPicker has been very successful at blocking scraping attempts recently. I will consider doing all of this however, if the situation improves.

I'll leave the issue open for now.
