UX designers want money, and free software projects are rarely a paying gig.
GIMP collaborated with a UX architect between 2005 and 2012. That guy was paying for this stuff to his employees out of his pocket when he was able to.
- yoz-y 6y agoI mean, everybody wants money in the end. I don't think that making free software is somewhat different from say, hobbyist painting or making unsolicited redesigns on Dribbble. It's just easier to share and useful to a larger audience. However I think that people are okay with doing stuff for free as long as it is fun. Being your own master is fun, but if you need to collaborate it will quickly become work.
