This is my first open source project, apart from tiny bits of code that no one ever paid any attention to. Maybe I don’t know how to do open source properly, maybe I made a mistake here. Let’s find out.

    for things like themes which are commonly community contributions rather than first-party, i do wonder if having an explicit “contributors” tag on the metadata (or at least a comment on the css file’s header or whatever) would be worth it in the future, not just to attribute the person doing the theming work but also for cases like ports of “common” palettes such as catppuccin where someone else did the work of coming up with a pleasant color scheme.

    (in case you need A Take, i don’t believe piefed did anything malicious in this case. i think attribution is quite important, but in this case it is very obviously a well-intentioned mistake trivially solvable by a gentle reminder that does not seem to be worth all this discourse)

      Yes there’s a json file for each theme, we could definitely add metadata like author, etc in there. Thanks!
