 # Hacking nvf {#ch-hacking}
 
-**nvf** is designed for developers as much as it is for the end user. I would like any potential contributor
-to be able to propagate their desired changes into the repository without the extra effort. As such, below are guides
-(and guidelines) to streamline the contribution process and ensure that your valuable input seamlessly integrates
-into **nvf**'s development without leaving question marks in your head.
+[open issues]: https://github.com/notashelf/nvf/issues
+[new issue]: https://github.com/notashelf/nvf/issues/new
 
-This section is mainly directed towards those who wish to contribute code into **nvf**. If you wish to instead
-report a bug or discuss a potential feature implementation, first look among the
-already [open issues](https://github.com/notashelf/nvf/issues) and if no matching issue exists you may open
-a [new issue](https://github.com/notashelf/nvf/issues/new) and describe your problem/request. While creating an
-issue, please try to include as much information as you can, ideally also include relevant context in which an issue
-occurs or a feature should be implemented.
