I'm not having much luck trying to contact app authors through github.
Github no longer seems to support private messaging.
I'm sure it did at one point but I can no longer figure it out.

I wonder if we should just sign our README files with our username on the Bangle JS2 forum ?

Some info boxes for the apps give an email address for the author.

You can figure out the author's GitHub ID from the GitHub history right?

Just create a new bug then mention their name with '@' and their name right after and it'll send them a message to say they've been mentioned in the issue. If you see someone else filed a bug about an app it's always worth writing a reply with something like Any ideas @... just so they see it

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
