I’m a UX designer by trade and have some very basic knowledge of Python, HTML & CSS. I wanna get more involved with helping build FOSS projects, can anyone help point a development newbie in the right direction?

    Find something you’re interested in using yourself. Contributing to multi-dev projects has a whole load of complication over and above single dev projects, and to stay motivated to work through all that whilst also potential learning a new environment will need a good reason to stay involved.

    We can always use a UX person over at https://github.com/slint-ui/slint :-) Slint is a UI toolkit written in rust, but the UI is defined in a simple custom language that is really easy to pick up.

    You could polish up existing demos, to create new ones and could even come up with new widgets.

    We try to be a nice community, feel free to drop by and chat if you have questions in our mattermost instance hosted at https://chat.slint.dev/

      This sounds like a neat project! I’ll try to catch up on the basics on GitHub and hopefully I can start contributing soon 👍

      Nice project! Is there any plan to support data tables? I’d like to try something like revogrid with CRUD operations… I was looking for this but didn’t find anything with ease of development for me
