**NOTE: If you want to add new features, please discuss with maintainers before coding or opening a pull request.** This is to ensure that we are on same track and following our roadmap.
**Please use clean, concise titles for your pull requests.** We use commit squashing, so the final commit in the dev branch will carry the title of the pull request. For easier sorting in changelog, start your pull request titles using one of the verbs "Add", "Change", "Remove", or "Fix" (present tense).

It is not always possible to phrase every change in such a manner, but it is desired.

**The smaller the set of changes in the pull request is, the quicker it can be reviewed and merged.** Splitting tasks into multiple smaller pull requests is often preferable.

Also, we use [ESLint](https://eslint.org/) for clean and stylistically consistent code syntax, so make sure your pull request follow it.
