How to Help WarpNet
How to Help WarpNet
WarpNet is a free, open, and decentralized social protocol. There is no central owner — just people building together. If you want to help, there are many ways to contribute:
1. Test the Software
- Try running a node on your platform (Linux, macOS, Windows)
- Use the UI, break things, and report issues
- Experiment with multi-node setups in your LAN or VPN
Bug reports are always appreciated: → GitHub Issues
2. Improve the Code
- Read the source code and open PRs
- Fix bugs, add missing error handling
- Optimize critical paths (e.g., message storage, discovery)
- Fix the frontend (PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE)
Look at good first issues if you’re new.
3. Build Tools and Interfaces
- Write a desktop client or cross-platform GUI
- Make a mobile aliases (iOS and Android)
- Create visualizations or dashboards for peers/network metrics (like Graphana)
WarpNet is modular. Anything that speaks the protocol can join the network.
4. Research and Audit
- Review the cryptographic primitives (Noise, PSK, local key derivation)
- Propose improvements to moderation, discovery, or security models
- Help design trust-minimizing coordination methods
5. Write and Document
- Translate the documentation into your language
- Write tutorials or explainers (e.g., “How WarpNet stores tweets locally”)
- Improve error messages or CLI help output
6. Run Infrastructure
- Host a publicly reachable bootstrap node (PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE)
- Help with continuous integration or builds
7. Spread the Word
- Share WarpNet with like-minded developers
- Star the repository to increase its visibility
If you’re doing any of the above, you’re already helping. WarpNet is not a startup. There is no monetization. It’s a protocol for people who want to own their tools.
