Open source projects!

Find the highest profile one you can with horrendous design, that you have an interest in, and dive in.

This does good for everyone plus you get a highly visible record of contributing to OSS. Win win win.

Good luck

Great idea. In the best spirit, any horrendously designed OS projects that you have in mind?

I built our local python community's website and to be honest I have no idea about what all is to be considered while designing a page.

The only thing I kept in mind was that almost all our members were using really bad 2g connections and so the site had to be super lightweight.

Anything you can help with/tell us to improve would go a long way.

My suggestion would be to make it mobile friendly if they were using 2G.

Also, take a look at Brutalist Web Design for lightweight inspiration.
