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
Gotcha. I don’t think they have the dev time right now to implement what might come from mockups, even through a new UX has been on the list of needs for a while now. As much as it would be cool to have a new UX vision to rally around, I just don’t think much could be done with it. I would want your time you’re volunteering to go somewhere useful of course :).
If you are interested in learning C++ though, there’s a number of low hanging fruit issues that might be good things to tackle once you get past the hello world stage.
@makeasnek I understand, I’ll do my best to learn the things that are necessary to actually help. I see that it is possible to make skins for the BOINC Manager app, seems like a good way to get acquainted with the features and GUI. Is there a C/C++ UI framework or IDE that you believe I should learn first?
That’s a great question and more than I know about C++ development. I do know that skins exist, that may be an easy way to implement a new UX without actually having to write a bunch of C++ code. The person to talk to about development, if you’re interested, is Vitalii you can find him on the discord or on their Github (AenBleidd)
