and to **resurface the process of making music** by making **high-quality** creation tools accessible to everyone, with
a strong focus on **education** and data-privacy.

## Looking for Contributors
We welcome contributions that follow the existing style and conventions of the project. AI-assisted code is fine, but
every contributor must **understand every line of code they submit**. If you use AI tools, please document your process
in `/plans`. Keep pull requests small and focused. Large
PRs will not be reviewed. Split big contributions into smaller commits that add requirements gradually and maintain
operations of the app.
If you are interested in helping, here are areas where we need support:
1. **Offline App** — e.g. wrapping openDAW with Tauri for a native desktop experience
2. **PWA** — turning openDAW into a fully installable Progressive Web App with offline support
3. **Timeline Track Management** — design and UX help for track layout, ordering, grouping, and interaction
We always appreciate help on open issues: https://github.com/andremichelle/openDAW/issues
