Troubleshooting

You’re going to run into a LOT of issues while working on your project! That’s okay - here’s some general troubleshooting tips!

  • Before trying anything else, SEARCH. IT. UP. Google whatever issue you might have going on. Chances are someone else has run into something similar!
  • Try to write down what steps you’ve taken before. Not only is it useful to pinpoint the problem for yourself, but it makes it easier for others too if you need external help

Sometimes a quick search will give you absolutely nothing, and you’ll be stuck! Not to worry - that’s what the community is here for!

To make it as easy as possible to ask for help, you should include the following:

  • Context as to what you’re building & what you’re trying to do
  • Screenshots/pictures of your problem
  • A link to your GitHub repository

Hack Club is a great place, but the the truth is that we’re really small too! One of the best ways to learn is to immerse yourself in other communities. Go to the communities section to find a list!
