Fancy help shaping Shopware software decisions?
Did you know you could have a direct influence on Shopware’s software architectural decisions?
If you’re a developer or just a keen bean who uses Shopware, your two cents are not just welcome – they’re explicitly wanted. The place to have your say is on the Shopware GitHub Discussions page.
The core team uses this space to float ideas, propose major changes, and ask the community, “Right then, what do you think?” This is where the future of dev features, APIs, and the whole architecture gets debated out in the open.
How to get stuck In
It’s proper simple to join the conversation. Here’s the lowdown:
- First things first, you’ll need to have a GitHub account. If you haven’t got one yet (which would be strange for a developer), it’s a five-minute job to sign up. It’s free and easy.
- Once you’re sorted, navigate to the main Shopware repository. Click on the <Discussions> tab right next to <Issues> and <Pull Requests>.
- Have a scroll through the ongoing discussions. See a topic you’re passionate about? Don’t be shy and leave a comment, share your experience, or ask a clarifying question. Your perspective is valuable.
Don’t fancy missing out? Get updates delivered!
You don’t have to constantly check the page to see what’s new. You can get all new discussions sent straight to your inbox. It’s the best way to stay in the loop without lifting a finger.
Just go to the main Shopware repository page and look for the <Watch> button in the top right. Click it, and a dropdown menu will appear. Instead of just “All activity,” select “Custom” and then make sure the box for “Discussions” is ticked. Then hit “Apply”.
And that’s it! You’ll now get e-mail notifications for new discussions and comments of ongoing discussions. Dead easy, isn’t it?
Why Bother?
This is more than just feedback; it’s about co-creation. By participating, you’re helping to build a better, more practical Shopware for everyone. You can warn about potential pitfalls, suggest alternative approaches, or simply voice your support for an idea the team is considering.
Go on and give it a go. Your opinion could shape the next dev feature.
