The most direct way of helping the success of Flarum is contributing to Flarum core or the first party extensions like approval, lock or tags.

Your Impact: Your contributions empower people to grow meaningful communities through free, open source software. From a group of friends, role play communities to big corporations on one hand, to suppressed minorities, vulnerable groups and war engulfed people on the other, Flarum enables people to interact on their own terms.
Shape Flarum: With our limited time we stick mostly to our planned roadmap. Contributions to our roadmap or to something you championed will have an immediate effect on Flarums' ecosystem, success and thus future.
Improve: Our codebase is modern, and we heavily value good engineering and clean code. There's also a lot of interesting, challenging problems to solve regarding design, infrastructure, performance, and extensibility. Especially if you're a student or early in your career, working on Flarum is a great opportunity to build development skills.

Extend

The strongest force in the Flarum ecosystem are the developers building extensions for much wanted features. The core team heavily focuses on making Flarum extensible, using that extensibility to solve the needs of the many by building and maintaining community extensions, free or paid, is a guaranteed way of being helpful to Flarum.

Enrich: Every extension is a need fulfilled for many communities. Authentication, social, gaming or formatting extensions for example, there's always something fantastic that can be added to Flarum.
Respect: As a developer, the most valuable ability is to create something with your own hands. While extending Flarum with your wildest ideas, you practice and master front- and backend skills while receiving renown for your hard work.
Earn: Settled extension developers gain the opportunity to publish higher quality, well sought after features on the Flarum marketplace with lifetime or recurring plans called premium extensions.
