One of the benefits of component-based software is that it is easier to read, understand, and maintain. This clarity and modularity not only facilitate contributions from developers who are not familiar with the entire codebase but also allow for greater flexibility in reusing code for different purposes.
'Contributors' in an InnerSource eco-system start their journey as 'users' looking for components that fulfill a particular need in their project.
An InnerSource platform has to make code easily discoverable. Search capabilities are critical, but also component documentation. Bit greatly helps by presenting component previews, interactive playgrounds, and auto-generated documentation.
The team working on the client-side app for the Acme organization uses the 'discussions' API for customer engagement. They need to add a new feature to enable image attachments in discussions. Instead of forking the project or building a custom solution, they can make a contribution directly to the API using Bit.
