Contributing

This guide documents patterns that are commonly used in Elm applications.

• Avoid uncommon or esoteric patterns.
• The pattern explanation needs to be as simple as possible. Don't write a whole essay for each one. They should be easy to read and understand in a few minutes (whenever possible).
• Avoid complex terminology e.g. Monads, Applicative, etc. Unless this is really critical for understanding the pattern.
• The pattern explanation doesn't need to be thorough (i.e. show all the code). As long at it conveys the idea and benefits. Linking to a more detailed source is great.
• These patterns should try to align with the community recommendations and best practices.
• Write in first person voice using the pronoun "we". E.g. "We might choose to use X".
