+  A few things to keep in mind:
+
+  * Remember to run ``make format`` to make sure your code follows our style guide.
+  * If you need help writing tests, take a look at the existing ones for inspiration. If you don't know where to start, let us know and we'll walk you through it.
+  * All new features should be documented. It helps to write the docstrings for your functions/classes before writing the code. This will help you think about your code design and results in better code.
+  * No matter what, we are really grateful that you put in the effort to do this! 🎉
