Documentation is always the most annoying and hard to do part of any project, so.. since I saw that there was room to improve some of the more critical documentation as it relates to user safety and privacy, I went and did a brief review of the repo to look for things that I've either always felt were needing clarification or sometimes not even documented all that well. I hope these contributions help and I tried to make sure that they jive with your setup at docs.featherwallet.org Peace! |
