# Where to start or How can you help?
You can follow the contributors guide above to get a gist.
It is fairly straightforward to get started. I would start with a project of my own and start adding missing functionalities.
Or simply put I would recommend you start by adding an unexported method to an existing widget.
**For example:**
You could add the corresponding Qt method to QProgressbar
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qprogressbar.html#textVisible-prop to get a grip on it.
This PR can be used as a guide
