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.
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.
