Project pages contain hardware, exact BotGear service keys, configuration references, build instructions, troubleshooting, and a Discussion section. Questions attached to the relevant project are easier for future builders to find.
Project question
Open the relevant project and use its Discussion section. Include what you built, the exact service keys, BotGear version, expected result, actual result, and useful logs.
General help
Use Discord for setup questions, design discussion, and real-time help from other builders.
Confirmed software bug
Use GitHub Issues for reproducible BotGear defects. Search existing issues first and include the smallest reproduction you can provide.

- Include the exact BotGear service and instance keys.
