Markor: Got Issues, Bugs, or Feature Requests? Let's Get Started!

Hey guys! Having trouble with Markor or have some awesome ideas to share? You've landed in the right spot! This guide will walk you through the best ways to get help, report bugs, suggest features, and contribute to the Markor community. Think of this as your one-stop-shop for all things Markor support and feedback. So, let's dive in and make Markor even better together!

First Things First: Search, Search, Search!

Before you post anything, it's super important to check if your question or issue has already been addressed. Seriously, this can save you and the developers a ton of time! There are two main places to search:

  • Search Issues: This is where you'll find reports of bugs and discussions about specific problems. Use keywords related to your issue to see if anyone else has experienced the same thing.
  • Search Discussions: This section is for more general conversations and brainstorming. You might find discussions about features, workflows, or general Markor usage.

Pro Tip: Spend a few minutes searching thoroughly. You might be surprised to find a solution or workaround already exists! Plus, it helps keep the community organized and prevents duplicate posts.

Choosing the Right Path: Questions, Bugs, or Features?

Okay, you've searched, and you still need help or want to share an idea. No problem! Markor offers several ways to get involved, each with a specific purpose. Let's break down the options:

1. Questions & Discussions

Got a question about how something works in Markor? Want to discuss a particular workflow or use case? This is the place to be!

  • Question / Discussions (for dedicated topics): Before posting, please, please, please search for existing relevant issues or discussions. If one exists, jump in and add your thoughts or questions there. This keeps the conversation focused and helps others find the information they need.

Think of the Discussions area as a forum for all things Markor. It's a great place to connect with other users, share tips and tricks, and explore new ways to use the app. Don't be shy – your insights are valuable!

2. Bug Reports

Uh oh, found a glitch? Seeing something that doesn't look quite right? Let's squash those bugs!

  • Bug report: If you think you've found a bug, submitting a detailed bug report is the best way to help the developers fix it. The more information you can provide, the better! Here's what to include:
    • A clear and concise description of the issue: What exactly is happening?
    • Steps to reproduce the bug: How can someone else make the bug happen?
    • Expected behavior: What should have happened instead?
    • Actual behavior: What actually happened?
    • Your Markor version and device information: This helps the developers pinpoint the problem.
    • Any relevant screenshots or error messages: Visuals can be super helpful!

By providing a thorough bug report, you're making it much easier for the developers to identify and fix the issue. Thanks for helping make Markor more stable!

3. Feature Requests

Got a brilliant idea for a new feature? Want to see Markor do something amazing? Let's hear it!

  • Feature request: If you have an idea for a new feature or enhancement, submitting a feature request is the way to go. Explain your idea clearly and why you think it would benefit Markor users. Consider these points:
    • Describe the feature in detail: What exactly would it do?
    • Explain the benefits: Why is this feature important? How would it improve Markor?
    • Provide use cases: How would users use this feature in their daily workflows?
    • Consider potential drawbacks: Are there any downsides to implementing this feature?

Keep in mind that the developers have a lot to consider when prioritizing features. A well-thought-out feature request with clear benefits is more likely to be considered. So, put your thinking cap on and let your creativity shine!

Extra Options and Important Info

Beyond the main categories, there are a couple of other options and some important things to keep in mind:

  • Plain issue: Only use this option if you're having trouble with the other options, especially if you're using a non-official GitHub application. Always check Marder (the development version) first!
  • Translate the project: If you notice any translation errors or want to help translate Markor into your language, this is the place to contribute. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Key Takeaways:

  • GitHub Account Required: You'll need a free GitHub account to post comments and participate in discussions.
  • No Emails to Developers: Please don't email the developers directly. Use the GitHub issues and discussions instead. This allows everyone to benefit from the conversation and ensures that your question gets the attention it deserves.
