-## Reporting Issues
+## Code of Conduct
-A great way to contribute to the project is to send a detailed issue when you encounter a problem. We always appreciate a well-written, thorough bug report.
+This project and everyone participating in it is governed by our Code of Conduct. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code. Please report unacceptable behavior to nv3212@gmail.com.
-Check that the project issues database doesn't already include that problem or suggestion before submitting an issue. If you find a match, feel free to vote for the issue by adding a reaction. Doing this helps prioritize the most common problems and requests.
+See [CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md](https://github.com/space-code/flex-ui/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) for details.
-When reporting issues, please fill out our issue template. The information the template asks for will help us review and fix your issue faster.
+## Getting Started
-## Submitting Pull Requests
+### Development Setup
-You can contribute by fixing bugs or adding new features. For larger code changes, we recommend first discussing your ideas on our [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/space-code/flex-ui/discussions). When submitting a pull request, please add relevant tests and ensure your changes don't break any existing tests.
+1. **Fork the repository**
+ ```bash
+ # Click the "Fork" button on GitHub
+ ```
-## Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
+2. **Clone your fork**
+ ```bash
+ git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/flex-ui.git
+ cd flex-ui
+ ```
-By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
+3. **Set up the development environment**
+ ```bash
+ # Bootstrap the project
+ make bootstrap
+ ```
-- (a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
- have the right to submit it under the open source license
- indicated in the file; or
+4. **Create a feature branch**
+ ```bash
+ git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name
+ ```
-- (b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
- of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
- license and I have the right under that license to submit that
- work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
- by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
- permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
- in the file; or
+5. **Open the project in Xcode**
+ ```bash
+ open Package.swift
+ ```
-- (c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
- person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
- it.
+## How Can I Contribute?
-- (d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
- are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
- personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
- maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
- this project or the open source license(s) involved.
+### Reporting Bugs
-## Code of Conduct
+Before creating a bug report, please check the [existing issues](https://github.com/space-code/flex-ui/issues) to avoid duplicates.
+
+When creating a bug report, include:
+
+- **Clear title** - Describe the issue concisely
+- **Reproduction steps** - Detailed steps to reproduce the bug
+- **Expected behavior** - What you expected to happen
+- **Actual behavior** - What actually happened
+- **Environment** - iOS version, Xcode version, Swift version
+- **Code samples** - Minimal reproducible example
+- **Error messages** - Complete error output if applicable
+
+**Example:**
+```markdown
+**Title:** Chainable configuration breaks with custom UIView subclass
+
+**Steps to reproduce:**
+1. Create custom UIView subclass
+2. Add .flex configuration chain
+3. Attempt to set backgroundColor
+
+**Expected:** Background color should be set correctly
+**Actual:** Compiler error about missing return type
+
+**Environment:**
+- iOS 16.0
+- Xcode 16.0
+- Swift 6.0
+
+**Code:**
+\`\`\`swift
+class CustomView: UIView { }
+
+let view = CustomView()
+ .flex
+ .backgroundColor(.red) // Error here
+\`\`\`
+```
+
+### Suggesting Features
+
+We love feature suggestions! When proposing a new feature, include:
+
+- **Problem statement** - What problem does this solve?
+- **Proposed solution** - How should it work?
+- **Alternatives** - What alternatives did you consider?
+- **Use cases** - Real-world scenarios
+- **API design** - Example code showing usage
+- **Breaking changes** - Will this break existing code?
+
+**Example:**
+```markdown
+**Feature:** Add animation helper methods to FlexUI
+
+**Problem:** Configuring view animations requires breaking the chain and using UIView.animate separately.
+
+**Solution:** Add chainable animation methods to FlexUI protocol.
+
+**API:**
+\`\`\`swift
+let view = UIView()
+ .flex
+ .backgroundColor(.blue)
+ .animate(duration: 0.3) { view in
+ view.flex
+ .alpha(0.5)
+ .transform(CGAffineTransform(scaleX: 1.2, y: 1.2))
+ }
+\`\`\`
+
+**Use case:** Creating animated UI without breaking the fluent configuration chain.
+```
+
+### Improving Documentation
+
+Documentation improvements are always welcome:
+
+- **Code comments** - Add/improve inline documentation
+- **DocC documentation** - Enhance documentation articles
+- **README** - Fix typos, add examples
+- **Guides** - Write tutorials or how-to guides
+- **API documentation** - Document public APIs
-The Code of Conduct governs how we behave in public or in private
-whenever the project will be judged by our actions.
-We expect it to be honored by everyone who contributes to this project.

+5. **Update documentation** - Keep docs in sync with code
+6. **Create a pull request** - Use clear description
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+### Branching Strategy
+
+We use a simplified branching model:
+
+- **`main`** - Main development branch (all PRs target this)
+- **`feature/*`** - New features
+- **`fix/*`** - Bug fixes
+- **`docs/*`** - Documentation updates
+- **`refactor/*`** - Code refactoring
+- **`test/*`** - Test improvements
+
+**Branch naming examples:**
+```bash
+feature/animation-helpers
+fix/chaining-with-custom-views
+docs/update-extension-guide
+refactor/simplify-flex-protocol
+test/add-uitableview-tests
+```
+
+### Commit Guidelines
+
+We use [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) for clear, structured commit history.
+
+**Format:**
