Implement GitHub Issue Templates for bug reports and feature requests #121

Description

Currently, when a user or contributor opens a new issue, they are presented with a blank text box. This often leads to incomplete information, requiring maintainers to manually ask for logs, component details, or steps to reproduce.

To streamline the development workflow for DSCWOC, I propose adding standardized GitHub Issue Templates.

Proposed Solution

I will implement a .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ directory containing two core templates:
1. Bug Report Template: Fields for: Steps to reproduce, Expected vs. Actual behavior, Browser/OS details, and screenshots of the compatibility error.
2. Feature Request Template: Fields for: Problem statement, Proposed solution, and potential impact on the lib/ logic (Compatibility/Suggestions engine).

Tasks

  • Create the .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ directory.
  • Create bug_report.md.
  • Create feature_request.md.

Why this is needed

  1. Better Data: Ensures developers get the specific PC parts or build configurations that caused a bug.
  2. Maintainer Sanity: Reduces the time spent on "triaging" issues and asking for more information.
  3. Project Maturity: Standardizes the repository for professional open-source participation.

I can set up these Markdown templates to match the Next.js 15 / shadcn tech stack of RigCrafter. Please assign this to me!
