# I'm having trouble with something

That can only mean one thing - the guides are still missing important information! While there is currently no community for realtime assistance with these guides, it would help greatly if you open a new issue on GitHub to let us know where you are struggling, so that we can rewrite the guides and make it easier to understand, or cover new edge cases.
