# Elk
A nimble Mastodon web client made with 🧡
Elk is in early alpha, but it is already quite usable. We would love your feedback and contributions.
Check out the [Open Issues](https://github.com/elk-zone/elk/issues) and jump in the action. Join the [Elk discord server](https://chat.elk.zone) to learn more and get involved!
The client is deployed to [elk.zone](https://elk.zone), you can share screenshots on social media but avoid sharing this URL or the discord server until we open the repo.
> **Note**
> If you would like to contribute, until the repo is open, please create branches in the main repository and send a PR from there.
# Contributing
Hi! We're really excited that you're interested in contributing to Elk! Before submitting your contribution, please read through the following guide.
## Online
You can use [StackBlitz CodeFlow](https://stackblitz.com/codeflow) to fix bugs or implement features. You'll also see a CodeFlow button on PRs to review them without a local setup.

## Local Setup
Clone the repository and run on the root folder:
```
pnpm i
pnpm run dev
```
We recommend installing [ni](https://github.com/antfu/ni#ni), that will use the right package manager in each of your projects. If `ni` is installed, you can instead run:
```
ni
nr dev
```
## Testing
Elk uses [Vitest](https://vitest.dev). You can run the test suite with:
```
nr test
```
