I'm sorry, I believe the article directly contradicts your statement since its mentioned they receive donations outside of GNOME, in platforms such as Liberapay, and it's the only way to pay for actual development.
- npteljes 5y agoIt's complicated. The GIMP donation page lists multiple donation avenues, but if you wish to donate to the GIMP project in general, that's the one that's managed by Gnome. I was referencing this paragraph: https://www.gimp.org/donating/#donate-to-the-project https://www.gimp.org/donating/#donate-to-the-project
- ipaddr 5y agoThat is complicated. I see why they are struggling to get donations. UI/UX matters.
- spiralx 5y ago> UI/UX matters. A perennial issue for GIMP, at least their branding is consistent though :)
- httpsterio 5y agoUI and UX are two very different things. UI is any interface an user might use, be it a app on a phone screen, voice commands etc. User experience is the study in how to optimize an users' experience, so that they can solve issues or tasks faster, easier or better. UX might affect how an app behaves or how it looks but it isn't tightly tied into the visuals of an application. Aesthetics are just a small part of UX but usually a rather big part in UI.
