Ankita is looking for contributors — here's what you'd actually build

Description and use

Developers can gain hands‑on experience with Node.js and Electron by contributing to Ankita, adding features such as custom providers, new skills, safer API handling, and Discord support.

Problem

Developers want real-world Node.js and Electron experience building a usable open-source desktop AI assistant.

Outcome

Contributors will extend Ankita’s capabilities, adding provider slots, new skills, safer API handling, and Discord support, while gaining experience with a production-ready Node.js/Electron project.

Workflow

• Clone the repository
• Run npm install to install dependencies
• Run npm test to verify the test suite
• Read CONTRIBUTING.md for setup instructions
• Choose a good first issue from the labeled tickets
• Implement the feature following the repo’s coding style
• Run tests locally
• Submit a pull request
• Await review from the maintainer

Evidence

It runs scheduled jobs on its own, has a live browser that clicks and types on real pages, and talks to you over Telegram.

I'm looking for contributors. Not free labor for my roadmap — people who want to learn real-world Node.js and Electron by building something people actually use.
