### Welcome word
|
||||
|
||||
**We are building the most private and secure chat in the world** - open-source, decentralized, and without global identities of any kind. If you would like to support it, you can do so in the following ways:
|
||||
|
||||
- 🌟 **Star it on GitHub** - it's a great feedback you like it and helps us raise the visibility of the project.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Install the chat and try using it** - if you spot a bug it would help a lot if you could [raise an issue](https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/issues).
|
||||
|
||||
- **Spread the word** - terminal chat is an [early-stage product](#disclaimer) while we stabilize the protocol - you can invite your friends for some fun chatting inside your terminal. We're using it right inside our IDEs as we are coding it 👨💻
|
||||
|
||||
- **Make a donation** via [opencollective](https://opencollective.com/simplex-chat) - the amount doesn't matter, we appreciate any donation!
|
||||
|
||||
- **Make a contribution to the project** - we're constantly moving the project forward and there are always lots of things to do.
|
||||

||||
We appreciate all the help from our contributors, thank you!
