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
The biggest problem you will run into isn’t your skills but the willingness of the people who run various projects to even entertain or accept your ideas or input at all, regardless of your credentials or anything else. You could have the best, most logical UI design for an app and they often won’t even entertain the thought of it what-so-ever.
I’ve worked extensively with various open source projects over the last 30 or so years and that’s always the biggest barrier of them all.
I think hard data can help with convincing, doing various UX studies and A/B tests.
