More seriously, even if you don’t have that specific skillset, we can always use more contributors. If you know stuff about the web platform, you’d be useful, even if you don’t have specific experience with Electron. An eagerness to learn and participate is worth far more to us.

We could also use more redundancy on the **devops** side of the project. Pulsar requires a complicated CI workflow for automated testing and automated releases — three platforms, two processor architectures, and at least two “flavors” of release on each OS. If we had at least two people who were familiar enough with the CI flows to troubleshoot any issues that may arise during release, it’d be a lot easier for us to rotate into and out of the project as time permits.

But we know even that’s a lot to ask. Lots of you already stare at screens all day for your jobs. But there is another option: if you’re willing to use beta software, you can help us test this new version of Pulsar.

PulsarNext has been my “daily driver” for months and has been getting easier and easier to use over that time. But we need more beta testers on various platforms so that we can find and fix any remaining issues. The best way you can help us ship this new version of Pulsar is to be a diligent beta tester and file bug reports whenever you encounter bugs.

1.**Download.** We’ve got rolling releases set up for PulsarNext. [Pick the appropriate release](https://github.com/pulsar-edit/pulsar-electron-next-binaries/releases) for your OS, architecture, and distribution method. But keep in mind that not every “release” has every possible version, since they’re built by different CI jobs. If you don’t see the one you need in a given release, keep looking through older releases until you find one.
