support

If you wish to support further development and feeling extra awesome, you can do so here.

how to contribue

1. Head to the firebase console and make a new project (the project name doesnt really matter, but just name it monkey-type). You dont need to enable analytics for it.
2. Install the Firebase Command Line Interface, and use firebase login to log in to the same google account as you just used to make the project
3. Git clone the project and make sure the project name inside .firebaserc is the same as what you made it in step 1
4. Make sure you use a SCSS compiler. For VSCode I recommend Live Sass Compiler extension.
5. Run firebase serve --only hosting to start a local server on post 5000. Use ctrl+c to stop it.

That should be it. If you run into any problems, let me know.
