Help shape Askr while the decisions are still close to the code.
Askr is an early open-source project maintained by one person. If you would like to become an early contributor, there is room to influence how its themes, rendering, and developer experience develop — not just pick up a finished backlog.
Where your perspective could matter now
These are open areas, not job descriptions. A specialist review, a working prototype, a focused fix, or a carefully documented finding can all move the project forward.
- 01CSS and design systems
Make the themes feel exceptional
Refine tokens, responsive behavior, light and dark themes, component polish, and cross-browser details without moving accessibility out of the headless layer.

Pressure-test SSR and SSG
Build real applications, find rough edges in server and static rendering, and improve metadata, hydration, performance, and deployment behavior.
@askrjs/askr · @askrjs/server · @askrjs/cli - 03Technical SEO
Make generated pages easier to find
Help sharpen canonical URLs, structured data, crawlability, sitemaps, social metadata, and the guidance applications need to use them well.

Early means direct
There is no contributor program or established community behind Askr today. You will work directly with the maintainer, close to the code and the reasoning behind it.
The project is young enough that a good contribution can influence conventions and priorities. It is also young enough that some paths will be unfinished. Candor about both is part of the invitation.
Contributions are volunteer open-source work. There is no expectation that one useful contribution becomes a recurring obligation.
A simple way to begin
- 01
Choose a useful edge
Bring a concrete problem, a small improvement, or an experiment from one of the areas above. You do not need to arrive with a complete solution.
- 02
Start the conversation
Open a GitHub issue in the relevant repository, or send a short email if you are not sure where the work belongs.
- 03
Shape and ship it together
Agree on scope, make the reasoning visible, and validate the result. A single focused contribution is worthwhile; there is no ongoing commitment.
Bring the part you care about.
Introduce yourself, mention the area that interests you, and include any idea or example you already have. A polished proposal is not required.
