  2. Once you identify an issue that you believe you can contribute to, you can comment directly within the issue thread. If you have questions about a particular issue, please email adam@plot.ly.


Dash App examples

Go through the Example Apps page to get a better understanding of the apps we chose to highlight.

If you’re excited about building professional Dash apps and would like your app to be highlighted, click the SHARE YOUR APP button in the Example Apps page to learn more about the criteria for app submissions. You can also share your app creations on the show-and-tell tag.


Dash Example Index

If you’d like to build apps that help others learn Dash, the Dash Example Index project might be the right option for you.

Think of the app you’d like to build and contribute. Then, suggest your app by starting a new issue.
