Anton (May 19 2026 at 11:42):Hi @fenugurod,
Thanks for your interest :)

I am working on porting basic-cli and will do basic-webserver after that.
How can I contribute to it?
I am afraid that there is not much you can do right now. In its current state we are making changes deep in the core of basic-cli, a lot of experience is required here. basic-cli will also function as an example for many platforms so our quality standards for it are very high. Keep an eye on #announcements, we will post there when the platform is ready for use.
Hannes (May 19 2026 at 11:46):There's also roc-http https://github.com/roc-lang/http
Hannes (May 19 2026 at 11:47):Which, as Anton said, won't work with the new compiler yet, but I'm putting it here for completeness in case someone else searches for this topic :)
fenugurod (May 19 2026 at 16:16):Ok folks, I'll search something else to build. Not sure what exactly. I don't have enough knowledge to work on the language level, but I think I can contribute with packages.
Luke Boswell (May 19 2026 at 22:44):@Hannes or anyone else interested in helping... it would be good for someone to experiment with that package (and roc-lang/path using the zig platform template.
Luke Boswell (May 19 2026 at 22:45):I imagine checking those repositories out locally, cleaning them up (if they have missing or broken things), making a package release (roc bundle ...) and testing it out etc.
