This project accepts a wide range of contributions, mostly code and translations. Code contributions are done through this GitHub repository. Translations are open to everyone, only requiring a free POEditor account, and are hosted at https://poeditor.com/join/project/yxR9MLc9X2. Any contributors will be added to the credits in the form of a text file shipped with the CLI application and a popup in the GUI application.

This tool is powered by a collection of open-source C++20 Source engine parsers called sourcepp.
