+## How to contribute
+
+Sandify grows from community contributions. We'd love to collaborate with you. Here are some ways we
+can improve together:
+
+### Share Patterns
+
+Even though we've spent a lot of time developing sandify, the patterns it can create suprise even
+us. If you have used sandify to make a pattern, please share it, and share how it was done. We get
+motivated seeing the impacts. Other users get inspired.
+
+### Report Issues
+
+Report bugs, feature requests, errors in the [issue
+tracker](https://github.com/jeffeb3/sandify/issues). We can't test every scenario in every release
+on every system. Many of the best ideas for features have come from issue requests.
+
+### Contribute Code
+
+Sandify has never been a one person effort. @jeffeb3 owns the project and guides the effort, but
+most of the code has been written and rewritten by contributors. It is a pleasure to
+work on, and we welcome collaboration.
