Whether you’re an AppFlowy power user, a software development expert, or just a student starting to get into open source, there is knowledge you can share that will benefit the entire AppFlowy community.
The types of articles we’re currently looking for include:
How-tos
Discussions about specific use cases
Software development related to AppFlowy’s codebase
You will be paid for articles published on and pages posted to. We pay anywhere between $50 - $350 for content created.
Your work will be published under your name with a link to the relevant social profile of your choosing.
We are also looking for content writers and technical editors with a proven track record to help with style, grammar, and content. Please email your portfolio to [email protected]
First, join our Discord and create a post. Your post should include the topic you want to cover and an outline. The topic can be your own or select an existing GitHub issue tagged with “".
Once you create a post, the AppFlowy team will review it. It may take a few days or weeks for us to review.
If we shortlist your topic, we will work with you to refine the scope and outline of the article to ensure the result is informative and engaging.
We will then create a GitHub issue for the topic and assign the issue to you.
After you finish the first draft, you are encouraged to get feedback from the AppFlowy team and a few community members who are your article’s target audience.
You should be aware that not every submitted article will be published.
But that’s not all — we’ll also promote your work on our social media channels, providing greater exposure for your work.
Ongoing support is required. You should promptly respond to queries about your published work. How-to guides should remain up-to-date.
We expect that you will provide support for at least 30 days after your article is published. Future engagements will be contingent on how well existing articles are supported.
We may archive your how-to guides if it’s not up-to-date given that our product is still under rapid development and may evolve pretty quickly.
Write a how-to guide explaining one of AppFlowy’s features. This can be from the development or the end-user perspective.
