Ask HN: Anybody working on opensource web app

24 pointsashitvora16 comments

Hi, Is anybody here working on any Open Source Web Application?

I would like to join.

Or if anybody is willing to start a new project, I am fine.

I am currently working as a UX/UI engineer for a Bay Area company.

I rate myself 8/10 in CSS, Javascript and jQuery.

I have 2 Rails apps you might be interested in.

Big Help is our company's help ticket system. I'd like to get it up to Rails 3 and prettied up. Also would like to implement macros/canned responses and allow them to be inserted via jQuery. http://github.com/bigfolio/big-help

Subby is a starting point for a subscription based web-app that uses subdomain-based accounts and Chargify for billing. It could use some layout/CSS love.

I could really use some help with http://freeciv.net, if you want to participate in an open source web game. Please get in touch if you are interested!

This is my crazy dream: http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AcmB_WI1jRkCZG41c2d4cl80OT...

That actually looks pretty cool, but you might want to add a summary of what it is in your comment. Not everyone is willing to click through and read your entire manifesto.

Mezzanine is a CMS platform built with Django, BSD licensed:

A few days ago I blogged about all the different roles it's lacking in, UX is one:

Mifos is web-based banking software for microloans - we're a Grameen Foundation project working to end world poverty.

We can use help making our user interface better!

Yes please! I'm building a social learning tool based on Drupal called Eduglu. See http://eduglu.com for general background/download + http://island.byu.edu for a working version.

I'd love to hear your thoughts (and anyone else's) on the existing UX/UI plus feedback on some planned additions. A friend who's pretty decent at UX designed most of what's there but he's left for a "real" job so I'd love to have someone else helping who can give expert advice on UI/UX questions.

You can email me directly at mathews.kyle@gmail.com or post issues at http://drupal.org/project/eduglu.

Hey man, I'm working on an open-source project that could absolutely use some help from the UX/UI perspective. I'm more of a "back end" programmer, so all the UI stuff right now is very, erm, spartan and mechanical (at best).

If you'd like to see more,

see http://code.google.com/p/neddick

or the demo site is at

http://spdemo.fogbeam.org:8080/neddick1/

If you'd like to help out, join the mailing list (Google Group) or feel free to shoot me an email directly. My email is in my profile.

I will suggest to join http://www.openwebanalytics.com/ , it's a great project and it's very useful for startups.

That's pretty awesome actually, for several reasons!

I'm working on an open source html5 web interface to mongodb http://github.com/ryanfitz/pergola It uses padrino (ruby web framework), jquery, haml, and compass. I'm planning on turning the data viewer/editor into a jquery plugin that could work with any json datastore. I could use some help with that and would definitely love UI improvements.

I just (soft) released my .net open source project/task tracking system. not much to look at but if you want you can grab it and pick it up. i'm unsure of the future of the project mainly because the field is so crowded. demo here: http://scrumbly.mobomobo.com (u: test p: test) -- source soon to be put up on codeplex.

Redmine is really in need of people for the UX Team: http://redmine.org

See if http://codenode.org (http://github.com/codenode/codenode ) interests you. It's BSD license, and a very cool project imho. Someone good at JavaScript / jQuery is needed.

https://launchpad.net/launchpad-project/ always needs help and is a great project to work on.

Yes, please. No offense, but launchpad really needs some extra UI/UX help. :-)
