Thank you for the sheer amount of detail and effort you've put into this response. These are all great resources.
The PP's from search engines are great, although perhaps a bit easier when the service doesn't require any personal info like most online products (email + credit card). Still, it's inspiring the lack of data collection they are committing to.
Thank you for these links @open-source-ux. Also a question on your name - do you contribute to OSS with UX suggestions/improvements?
- open-source-ux 7y agoYou're welcome. As for my display name...I used to believe that UX could made an important contribution to OSS, but I no longer really believe that. The model for open source code contributions just doesn't work for visual and interaction design. (Or if it does, I've yet to see a successful example that wasn't an exception rather than the rule). This is, of course, just my opinion :-)
- kiwicopple 7y agoIn the past I thought of creating a site that could improve UI/UX contributions to OSS. I was going to call it FOSS Gloss. There's definitely a need for it, just not really a good mechanism. As you say - yet to see a successful example. I'm always open to contributions for my own OSS project though (supabase.io). If you want to get involved, feel free to open a github issue or email me (find my email in the "humans.txt"). In fact, you already have contributed by answering this Ask HN
