this is a good starter ticket I believe: https://github.com/arrow-kt/arrow/issues/1357

How can I contribute 🙂 ?

[pakoito]

there’s one new function to add that looks a lot like an existing one + calling another existing one

[pakoito]

both functions are linked in the description

[pakoito]

fork the project, add the function, create a PR and we’re in business 😉

[pakoito]

if you need any more info of any individual step, ask here, and if it’s about the code do the PR first so we can see the code

building it from the fork resulted in this:

bash
 gradle clean build
