+**TickUp Core** (this repository and the **`tickup`** package on npm) is **open source** under the **[MIT License](./LICENSE)**. You can study it, ship it in commercial products, fork it, and send improvements back—no permission slip required beyond the license terms.

+If you care about **financial UX**, **canvas performance**, **TypeScript APIs**, or **documentation clarity**, you belong here. We welcome **first-time contributors** as much as regulars: open an issue with a question, a repro, or a rough idea; share a small doc fix or a focused PR; or pair on a larger change after a quick discussion in an issue so nobody wastes effort.

 This package is the **Standard Edition** (**MIT**). It is aimed at **dashboards**, **admin tools**, and **embedded widgets** where you want a **real chart**, not a screenshot, without building canvas math from scratch.
 
+**Open source:** TickUp Core is developed in the open. If you use it, improve it, or teach others with it, consider **joining the effort**—documentation fixes, reproducible bug reports, and focused pull requests are all valuable. You do not need prior maintainer approval to **open an issue**; for anything sensitive or exploratory, **Bar Damri** is reachable at **[bardamri1702@gmail.com](mailto:bardamri1702@gmail.com)** ([bardamri.com](https://bardamri.com)). Public collaboration happens on **[GitHub](https://github.com/BARDAMRI/tickup-charts/issues)**. See **[Contributing](../CONTRIBUTING.md)** for how to run builds and propose changes.

+## Open source & collaboration
+
+This project is **open source** (**MIT**). The docs you are reading ship inside the npm tarball on purpose: we want integrators *and* contributors to have the same source of truth.
+
+**You are invited to collaborate.** Whether you spot a typo in a guide, want to harden an edge case in live data, or dream up a better default for axes—we’d rather you **open an issue** or **draft a PR** than assume the door is closed. Small, reviewable changes often merge fastest; bigger ideas benefit from a short issue thread first so maintainers and contributors align.
