Community
Join us on our new Discord server if you want to contribute or talk to other people using BookPlayer. Keep in mind that you should file issues when you find bugs or have ideas for new features. Discord is a chat platform and while the maintainers will drop by once in a while, it is still a chat and not a bugtracker.
