+## Contributing
+
+TinyLoad is one cpp file by design. I want to keep it that way.
+
+**What I'm looking for:**
+- Bug reports (file an issue if it breaks on your exe)
+- Feature ideas (open an issue to discuss)
+- PRs for small fixes or improvements that stay in the single file
+
+**What I'm not looking for:**
+- Splitting into multiple files
+- Adding dependencies
+- Major rewrites without discussion first
+
+**Before opening a PR:**
+- Open an issue first so we can discuss
+- Test on a few different exes
+
+Thanks for checking out the project.
