I would like to help an open-source project with UI design and UX design. I have over 18 years of experience in the field and have worked with desktop and mobile software on Windows, Mac, iOS, Android and Windows Mobile/Windows Phone. Unfortunately my knowledge of Linux is very limited but I’m eager to learn. Could you help me find a project? @thelinuxEXP @linux @macrumors @windowscentral @windows

    You could help us at Organic Maps. We are in need of UI designers. Contact me or biodranik on Matrix if you are interested: @g_mate8:matrix.org and @biodranik:matrix.org

      This. KDE community seems to be very friendly and Plasma could really need a little polishing. Especially the default Breeze theme.

    The programming language Go has only few UI building options. One of the few that does not rely on a browser running underneath is fyne. I like its programming model a lot, but as you likely see in the example screenshots: something is off. I can’t put my finger on it. I assume it’s a mix of different subtle visual cues, spacing, etc.

    So if you are willing to work on a UI framework (with bonus points if you are interested in doing a bit of Go programming), I think contributions to fyne would be very cool (so far the maintainer(s) were open to suggestions and input, so I also assume designer input is welcome :-)).

    I think that one of the projects that needs it the most right now, a complete overhaul, is FreeCAD.

    It needs a good, competent UX designer. Nothing has changed UX wise for like 6 years. Everyone who begins to use it quits saying that it is the biggest hurdle.

    It is literally the only real classical FOSS CAD software and they have no UX designer as far as I know.
