Miscellaneous

I think I've found a bug! What do I do?
🎉 🐛Congrats on finding a bug. However, before you report it,
  • Make sure that it's actually a 🐛 bug. Third party browser extensions, especially those that interfere with LocalStorage and SessionStorage have been known to cause issues. ❌
  • If it isn't a third party extension causing the issue, nor your browser/system 🖥️, open a new issue in the TosAutomation GitHub 🐈 (link found in header), or DM me on Slack 💌, if you're from Hack Club (my name is Muyao Lu on Slack)
  • Remember, the more details you include, the better. 🖼️📕 Logs, images, and a description on how you got the error would all be appreciated :)
