Research direction

This is an open invitation rather than a scoped task; no file, test, or entry point is identified. Start by reviewing the README and project description, then clarify a concrete contribution area with maintainers. Done cannot be defined until a specific change is agreed.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

If the README has you interested in this project, please leave a comment below expressing how you might be able to contribute.

I'm definitely looking for lots of feedback. If you have dev skills, that would be terrific, as mine are even more limited than my time. We don't need to move at lightning speed, and I could probably do most of it alone eventually, but it will be so much better with more voices, at least.

I think this project especially needs Node/JavaScript developers, as I lag in these areas and will be using Ruby for back-end work and jQuery for front-end.

If you are a tech writer looking to follow along with application development on a relatively light project, you don't have to stick to the Free Styles project.

Please say hi!
