UI design and development for a desktop app built with Python and Flet (i.e. Flutter)

Tuttle — Sun, 16 Oct 2022 14:02:59 +0000

Organization: Tuttle

Status: expired

Compensation: paid

Role: UI Designer and/or Developer

Tuttle is an open-source software project supported by the Prototype Fund. We develop a time and finance management tool tailored for the requirements of freelancers.

While the core functionality has been implemented as a Python library, reaching the target users requires building a desktop app that can be used by non-programmers. The project would benefit from experience in designing the user experience for entering and managing user data, managing settings, running functions, etc. Ideally the designer is also a frontend developer proficient in Python and/or Flutter, able to prototype the UI in running code. Plus points if you are also a freelancer and thereby part of the target audience for the app.

Organization: okTurtles Foundation

Status: closed

Compensation: paid, fulltime, negotiated

Role: Lead Frontend Developer

This is a copy of our official listing. Please see that for most up-to-date info!

Lead Frontend Developer

Want to work on basic income with us?

This is an opportunity to:

Make basic income a reality for potentially millions of people.
Impact how the world’s economy works and the way groups and communities interact.
Use the latest technologies in decentralized application design.

You’ll work with a team of experts to finish the prototype of Group Income that will be used by real groups during our trial phrase.

Requirements

You’re a “designer” in the Apple sense. While you might not know much Photoshop, you do know how to make solid, user-friendly, secure applications.
JavaScript, HTML, CSS expert.
Expert in at least 1 other programming language.
Fully grok git, and have made meaningful contributions to open source projects (your own or others).
Fully grok decentralization, or are excited to learn.
Strong understanding of frontend security concepts. You know what to do. You know what not to do. And you certainly know the difference between asymmetric and symmetric encryption.
Able to competently use GPG and other secure communications tools.
Autodidact.
Fluent in English.
Are reliable; you don’t make commitments you won’t keep.

Nice To Have

Knowledge of Vue.js, the framework we’re using.

Compensation

Negotiated hourly rate, based on experience.

Perk: Membership in the Group Income Developers Group

After receiving the position and making at least one successful pull request, you’ll be granted membership in a Group Income Group (GIG) that’s specially purposed for Group Income contributors and is sustained by voluntary contributions from other GIGs. Members retain membership for one year after their most recent contribution, unless voted out (“disowned”) by the existing members. Any funds you receive from this group are entirely separate and unrelated to any compensation you receive for contract work.

This Lead Frontend Developer will be eligible for one of the five lifetime “founders seats” in the developer GIG. The lifetime seats will go to the top 5 contributors to Group Income once it reaches its 1.0 public debut (the major release that comes after the prototype).

We’ll post additional details about this special developer GIG to our blog.

Directions

To apply, email hi [at] okturtles.com the following:

Description of your technical background, why you are applying for this position, and why we should choose you.
Links to the source code of at least two software projects that you’re most proud of (at least one of which must be in JavaScript).
In your own words, what the difference between asymmetric and symmetric encryption is.
- Bonus: send an encrypted email. Fingerprint: 0xC32DE6664644751C9B80D9984B4D4371A884B988

Finally, we recommend (but don’t require) sending a DM to @Group_Income with the subject of your email to make sure it doesn’t get lost due to spam filters.

Volunteer

Most of the people who work on Group Income do so as volunteers. If you’d like to join our volunteer team, get in touch with us. We’re looking for designers, developers, and writers.

Whether you’re a contractor or volunteer, every regular contributor to the development of Group Income will be added to the developer GIG mentioned above.

UI Design for remoteStorage-connect widget/dialog

5apps — Sun, 22 Mar 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Organization: 5apps

Status: filled

Compensation: unspecified

This is a freelance gig for improving the user interface and experience of a general-purpose open-source library, used in many different apps.

RemoteStorage in a nutshell: users can tell Web apps to sync data where they want it, without the app developer ever hosting or touching their data. Users can choose between Google Drive, Dropbox or RemoteStorage. The latter is an open-source protocol that can be used by anyone to create data storage/sync servers. App developers can use this library to easily integrate support for data sync via these options into their apps.

You will be responsible for re-designing the connect/sync UI, which apps offer by default when they use remoteStorage.js.

The work is sponsored by 5apps, a commercial provider of remoteStorage accounts.

Skills and experience wanted

[Essential] Experience designing Web-based user experiences [Essential] Working knowledge of HTML, CSS and front-end JavaScript [Desirable] Experience working with CSS3 (e.g. animations) and vanilla JavaScript (i.e. no jQuery or similar) [Desirable] Familiarity with free/open-source software and its processes

Interested?
