## FAQ
### Can I contribute?
Yes! I also encourage you to fork this repo and make your own version of bungaku (but pretty please credit me properly!).
### Will there be an iOS release?
Technically since this is a React Native project, there should be an iOS release. However, I do not know of a way yet to properly install 3rd party apps because this app violates App Store TOS. So yeah, the answer would be: NO.
## How to install
1. Starting in the project root folder, `yarn install`
2. `cd ios && pod install`
3. `yarn android` or `yarn ios`
## How to contribute
1. Please use these prefixes in your branches:
- feature/
- fix/
- chore/
- refactor/
- translations/ : if you want to contribute or fix a translation specifically, please use this instead
2. Please always add a description explaining briefly what the MR is all about.
