Wanna help out?
Kin Social is a massive project and any help is more than welcome. You don’t need to be a developer to help out. There’s lots of way to help.
Tester
We have a running beta site, where we can test new features and check on old ones. It also helps us to check bugfixes and patches.
You need to be patient, thorough and tenacious as a good tester and bug hunter.
Translator
Kin Social has seven translations that we need help maintaining.
Currently the supported languages are: English, Swedish, Danish, Polish, German, French and Spanish.
Developer
We run a fairly uncomplicated old school stack of standard PHP and MySQL. We use Composer to track dependencies on the backend.
Frontend is based off of Bootstrap 3 (but looking to upgrade to 5 soon). We use Bower to track frontend dependencies, and Gulp to compile and minify our CSS (from Sass) and JavaScript.
If you want to help out with any of the above, please use the contact form to reach out. Any and all help is welcome.
