how to Contribute to the Ara voice assistant

Hello, ITS HACKTOBERFEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I am excited).

Why contribute

For most of this year I have been working on Ara alone, and this month I am going to change that, with the help of you. I have several areas where I could use some help.

  • Security
  • Web development
  • Usability
  • Just stuff in general

The last one is VERY important. I simply can't build a complicated software system alone, in a reasonable time. here is a good example of what I am saying.

Ara account #13

I don't know where to start with this, but a personal account that syncs data would be awesome.

To me this is why Open source is so important you get a bunch of view points on a single issue so you find the BEST way to do something. this is why I would like you to contribute this hacktoberfest, to make this voice assistant the best voice assistant ever.

Some things to start with

To contribute you need to know where, here is my servers code,

Each of these have a bunch of issues and projects you can help with. one thing that would be great would be an IOS client, I dont' have A mac so I can't make it, If you have a mac and you're interested contact me on the dev chat.

The Stack

Ok, lets go server down. The server is in java and little kotlin it uses the gradle build system and is hosted on Heroku. If you contribute I would recommend you work in Intellij Because I know it works well. the server is there to combine multiple RSS feed using RomeTools and serves as a skills api host.

now for the app, the app is in native android, So, if you don't know, Java, kotlin, and XML. This really needs some work, the voice stuff is done locally so you can interact with on board skills (Still working on that), And I don't have a good enough TF lite file, so voice stuff is like half done. Some other stuff like the UI and settings page could use some work, so go check it out.

Thank you for reading!!!
