That's what I love so much about open source. Currently have a fork of kiTTY going, working on tracking down a little bug I found in my daily use.

This can also be one of the frustrating parts of open source.

Find something you don't like? Fix it. Will the repo owner approve your pull request? Who knows. Maybe they're a bit absentee. Maybe they view the original behavior as working as designed. Maybe your design doesn't fit their architectural model, so they'll (eventually) heavily refactor your changes and merge them in.

You can always stand up a fork, but keeping those two at feature parity and going in the same general direction can become harder and harder with time.

That's not to say not to try! But it also means reaching out to the repo owners/maintainers before making your first change.

100%, sounds interesting! I'm going to spend some time tomorrow looking at a bug in the jellyfin android TV app related to DTS audio over HDMI.
