Hello there, Mlem enjoyer and new contributor here.

I want to ask as to how one can contribute small changes like spelling mistake fixes and so on to the repo? I don’t want to possibly waste your time with small merge requests.

    I don’t want to possibly waste your time with small merge requests.

    Not at all, these PRs are very easy to review.

    GitHub is the best place to help contribute here, please don’t feel like you’re spamming us with too many PRs. I love seeing community contributes to the app we all love. We can all build it together!

        My first contribution to an open source project was essentially the same. I was using their guide on how to implement/build their project in another project. I stumbled upon a small error with a link (which linked http instead of https but the site was since then reconfigured to reject plain http instead of forwarding the connection to https).

        I cloned their Repo, changed the link to https in all language versions of the documentation and sent them my pull request. Now I get to name myself “open source contributor” ;)

        Just do it - then they have more time to work on the complex problems.
