FreshRSS General instructions

KISS principle: Keep It Simple

Prioritise simplicity, brevity, and clarity in code and documentation.
Avoid premature abstractions or over-engineering.
Reuse and adapt existing code where possible, avoiding duplication.
Keep changes minimal and focused.
Favour vanilla solutions: avoid adding third-party dependencies and frameworks.
Overall, reduce the number of lines and quantity of code (including dependencies).

Style and formatting

When editing files, obey indentation and white-space as defined in .editorconfig (some of it can be automatically fixed with make fix-all).

Spelling

Favour British English spelling and conventions in code, comments, and documentation.
