Gotta orange pill those UX’ers who get seduced by Big Tech. They’re graduating from human factors programs and making bank designing Elon’s car doors.
nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 is right. Nostr still needs a lot of work. We're not done building nostr's social features yet. There's a lot of work to be done with UI/UX, content discovery, user discovery, and everything that's a quality of life enhancement.
I keep saying we'll get there and I believe we will, but we do need more designers on nostr and contributing to nostr's clients to make this happen in some sort of timely fashion. Maybe it boils down to funding? Maybe client developers that are getting grants from OpenSats should start looking into additional funding for hiring designers?
Discussion
Looking from the outside, I think that traditionally it's been harder for a designer to get onboarded on the open source project than it is for a dev.
Good path might be in making it, and the understanding of the problems we're trying to solve more accessible.
Good point. That makes sense.
