Uh sure, relatively, but for someone who doesn’t even know how to program that’s relatively a super tall order, I don’t know their background, but the activity itself definitely isn’t low technical requirements in absolute terms, if instead you meant UI concept design, then it would have been more plausible
I really like design! Little buttons and colors and all those bits of tweaking. I’ve been looking more at projects on Lemmy to see how their UIs are coded, but I think the tools and frameworks all sorta run back to HTML/CSS/JavaScript so like if I learned that then I’d understand how to use Qt, PyQt, or Kotlin. Idk. I think designers tend to contract themselves to capital so the idea of an open source UI developer sounds goofy, but fun.
I had to get a plug-in to add click to play/pause so it’s like almost every streaming site. Also, I don’t believe there’s a way to get it to automatically play the next video file in the folder after one video finished, without making a playlist.
Small gripes, I know. I’m coming from MPC on Windows so I miss some of those features.
I’m waiting for the update that makes the UI UX actually nice
Someone with relatively little technical skills could do that type of work. Give it a shot!
How? They would have to know C/C++, Qt, QML; then learn how to navigate the codebase, compile the software and debug it.
All that is very technical
Far less technical than AV1 support with software rendering, very little technical skills relatively.

Good thing I just clarified it was relatively, not sure why you felt the need to type this comment
Its still a high technical skill you ask there. Its just a different field
This sort of attitude is completely new to me and so awesome. Like I can just contribute to software? 🤯
I have choice words for the UI/UX of most Matrix clients. And they’re open source!
Good. Those things need work.
But expect a lot of your complaints to fall on deaf ears unless you’re willing to do the work yourself.
A lot of people in the open source ecosystem really don’t understand good design.
VLC, however, is one that does.

Learn how Waydroid users improve VLC's UI with this one weird trick
Installing the Android version
(Jk, but the Android UI really does look much nicer out of the box since it has to follow some semblance of design guidelines)

Looks great to me.

Customization is great however most people barely open any of the menus even tho they contain treasures
In any case, the current UI is not bad by any means
