-Issues reporting and pull requests are always appreciated. For issues, make sure to always include a code snippet and describe the expected vs actual behavior.

+## Bug reporting guidelines
+If you report a bug, thank you! That said for the process to be manageable please strictly adhere to the following guidelines. I'll not be able to handle bug reports that don't:
+* Your bug report should be a self-containing gist complete with a package.json for any dependencies you need. It should use assertions to showcase the expected vs actual behavior. See this example to see how to do it: https://gist.github.com/louischatriot/220cf6bd29c7de06a486
+* Simplify as much as you can. Strip all your application-specific code. Most of the time that will help you see that there is no bug but an error in your code :)
+* 50 lines max. If you need more, read the above point and rework your bug report. If you're convinced you need more, please explain precisely in the issue.
