Hi!

I directed you here because you sent me a question that I'd like to help answer, but am unable to because I'm missing some context. Very often, this is because you wrote "it doesn't work" without providing much additional detail. It's probably clear to you what you mean, but I am confused. Maybe I'm just not smart enough. But in any case, please help me help you by sending me further information. For example:

  1. How does it not work? What did you try? What did you expect to happen? What happened instead?
  2. Did you get any error messages? If yes, exactly what did they say?
  3. Maybe you can send me a screenshot to clarify?
  4. Where did you try this? On your phone, or on a laptop / standalone PC? What's your operating system?
  5. If the problem occurs on a web site, which browser are you using?
  6. ... does it also happen with a different browser?

View Good PRs are minimal
Hi! Thank you for offering a PR for one of my open source libraries. I really
appreciate it, because in most cases, I have very little time to maintain them.
I often get PRs that lead to a back-and-forth between me and the contributor,
where I ask them to undo many of the changes they have made. To avoid this in
your case, or to at least give you an idea why I'm asking you to adapt your PR,
here are my criteria for accepting PRs.
Every PR should have one, and only one, unique goal. Your PR should make the
absolute minimum number of changes that are required to achieve this goal.
