Documentation

# Useful answers,
kept close at hand.

Short, visual guides for using Mango, making it your own, and building extensions that grow naturally from IRC.

[Appearance · First guide

## Make Mango yours.

Learn how a ` .mangotheme ` file is put together, what every color changes, and how to package Light and Dark variants together.

Read the guide](https://mangoirc.chat/docs/theming)

Need something else?

## Ask a human.

Tell us what’s missing, or come say hello in ` #mango `. The next useful guide will probably start there.

[Developers · Versioned reference

## Grow something for Mango.

Build sandboxed Sprigs and headless Roots with the Grove API. Start with a package, understand the capability boundary, then ship through the extension store.

## Join the Mango IRC Network.

Connect from Mango or configure another WebSocket-capable IRC client for ` wss://irc.mangoirc.chat/ ` and ` #mango `.
