# Contributing to Serial Thanks for considering contributing to Serial! Here are a couple things to keep in mind: Serial is designed to be minimal and streamlined, as a counterpoint to YouTube and lot of other commercial RSS feed readers. To make sure your time isn't wasted on a new feature that isn't in line with the direction of the project, it is best to either open an issue first or take on an issue already prioritized on the [Serial issue board](https://github.com/users/hfellerhoff/projects/1/views/1). Feel free to open an issue if you're unsure! > _More to be added here in the future!_
