+# Contributing

+This is a SSG React/Next.js application written in TypeScript.
+It uses the outstanding Mantine UI framework and Valtio for state management.
+I expect you to know of these things if you're planning to contribute.
+
+## Important
+
+Pushing to the `main` branch triggers a GitHub workflow, so make sure to target your PRs to the `dev` branch.
+
+## Running in development mode
+
+Required Node.js > 18 & `yarn`.
+Run `yarn dev` in the project folder.
