🌱 Help Wanted — Contributor Hub & Roadmap

[GoDiao]

📌 This is the central place for new contributors. If it's your first time, start here.

DreamCoder is the open-source desktop GUI for Claude Code. We're a small team and would love your help — whether it's a typo fix, a new theme, or wiring up a whole MCP marketplace. Every PR matters.

⚠️ Heads up — DreamCoder is currently tested only on Windows x64. macOS / Linux code paths exist but are unverified by the maintainer. See the Platform Support section in README before picking up an issue that requires running the app locally.

🚀 Get started in 5 minutes

git clone https://github.com/GoDiao/dreamcoder.git && cd dreamcoder
bun install
cd desktop && bun run dev

Then read the full Contributing Guide (中文).
