# Contributing to Kan
Thank you for your interest in contributing to Kan! This document provides guidelines and instructions for contributing to the project.
Thank you for your interest in contributing to Kan!
## Getting Started
## Before you start
**Open an issue before writing code for a new feature.**
Feature PRs opened without a prior approved issue will be closed without review - not because the idea is bad, but because we can't review code for features we haven't aligned on yet. This protects your time as much as ours.
The process is:
1. Open a [feature request](https://github.com/kanbn/kan/issues/new?template=feature_request.md) and describe what you want to build
2. Wait for a maintainer to respond and signal approval (we aim to respond within a few days)
3. Once approved, open a PR that links the issue
Bug fixes and documentation improvements don't need prior approval - just open a PR.
