Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the repository's syntax highlighting implementation, likely using a library like CodeMirror. Find where language modes are registered (e.g., in a file like 'editor.js' or 'syntax.js'). Add Python language support by including a Python mode file or adding it to the configuration. Test the change locally to ensure Python snippets are highlighted.
