Invitation to join our open-source initiative

Are you an enthusiastic young designer, developer or software tester looking to work on a product?

Or are you a seasoned engineer looking to work on something interesting outside your day job (that scratches your maker's itch)?

Here is an opportunity you might be interested in.

I have an idea for a workflow management app. It may not become a big thing, but it will solve a specific problem for niche users in the video production industry (infographics, educationals, reels, shorts, etc).

I want to build this product using the community. No remunerations. Fully open-source hosted in a public GitHub repository. Anyone can contribute, and anyone can make use of it.

So, if you feel the app is worth contributing or the experience of working with fellow developers is worth the time, you can join. No obligations.

All contributors will meet once a month (online or offline) to discuss and plan the action items for the next four weeks. We will establish the style guide (for UI) and coding standards for each stack (for code reviews). We will document the entire process following the build-in-public approach.

Here are the high-level next steps,

1. Write requirements as user stories.
2. Prototype the UI (low-fidelity wireframes) and seek feedback.
3. Finalise the high-fidelity UI.
4. Architecture design (including DB schemas)
5. Project setup
6. Make a list of issues on GitHub
7. Plan two-week sprints
8. Review progress and keep the ball rolling

Roles

We will need the following roles,

1. UI Designer (Figma)
2. Frontend developer (Design to HTML)
3. Frontend developer (VueJS)
4. Backend developer (Python, Django, DRF & SQLite/PostgreSQL)
5. Software testers (manual & automated)

How to join

Interested folks, please join our Discord server. I look forward to working with you all in transforming this idea into a wonderful product.
