Familiar stack
Go, React, and PostgreSQL keep the codebase friendly to most contributors and easy to run on a laptop.
BucketBird is a tiny open-source project
A calm bucket helper for low-key storage chores.
BucketBird experiments with a lightweight React + Go dashboard that keeps S3-like storage tasks understandable. The scope stays small, and the code grows only when it solves a real headache.
Why BucketBird
Simple ideas that keep the project grounded.
We aim for clear code, approachable UI, and honest expectations. No lofty promises—just steady improvements informed by actual use.
Friendly interface
Tailwind-powered screens with good spacing and contrast so you can check objects without wrestling a console.
Documented workflow
Scripts, docker-compose files, and runbooks live in the repo to reduce head-scratching for new folks.
Transparent pace
We post plans and refactor notes so everyone knows what is being explored and what might stay experimental.
Ways to contribute
Small, steady contributions matter most.
Build features
Tackle backend, frontend, or infra issues that match your time. Even small fixes unblock others quickly.
Document the craft
Capture quick notes, diagrams, or troubleshooting steps. Clear docs keep expectations realistic.
Advocate for accessibility
Test screen readers, contrast, and keyboard paths whenever you have a moment. Kind UX beats flashy additions.
