# Contributing
As described in [the help](https://miaou.dystroy.org/help#Technical_Stack), Miaou is mostly coded in JavaScript.
Stuff includes node, PostgreSQL, OAuth2, socket.io, WebRTC, express, Bluebird, Redis, Pug, Passport.js, hu.js, jQuery, sass/scss, Uglify-js, gulp, jest, travis-ci, and nginx.
Many features are implemented as plugins, and that's where you should look first: [Plugin developpement](plugins/README.md).
