Contributor's Guide

I welcome requests! Follow these steps to contribute:

2. Let me know you are working on it by posting a comment on the issue.
3. If you find an error in the code, please provide a link to the file and the line number.
4. If you have a code change suggestion, you can post a replacement code block. I also accept pull requests.

How to build from source

1. Delete the PersonalUtilities project from the solution.
2. Delete the PersonalUtilities.Notifications project from the solution.
3. Delete the cURL folder from the solution.
4. Delete the ffmpeg.exe from the solution.
5. The following libraries must be added to project references with the 'Copy to output folder' option:
   • PersonalUtilities.dll
   • PersonalUtilities.Notifications.dll
   • Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.Notifications.dll
   • System.ValueTuple.dll
6. Import PersonalUtilities.Functions for the whole project.

Always use the correct libraries. You must download libraries from the same release date as the code commit date.

How to request a new site

1. Check issues (open and closed) and discussions to find your issue. Perhaps I have already answered your request.
2. If you don't find anything, create a new issue with your request. I usually reply as soon as possible (within the next few hours).

Requirements for new site requests

Attention! I'll add a new site only if I'm interested. I also have a life, and any development takes time.

• Post a link to the site's API
• Post request URLs without OAuth authentication
• Post a complete cURL request which provides the required information (JSON is better)

I don't use OAuth authentication in my application, so if it's not too hard to make a new parsing algorithm without OAuth authorization, I can start developing it in the coming days. Otherwise, I need time to figure out how to do it.

If I'm interested in a site you want to add, it may be added in future releases.

Sites I will never develop

• Facebook
• Tumblr
