I like the way Voyager does it: image

DeltaChat also has a very easy onboarding process: you just put your name, and that's it. The app creates the password in the background and allows you to switch servers easily. That really helps with onboarding new joiners.

Piefed.zip could be a nice default choice. If there are others you see, feel free to suggest.

I work in design and animation, is there somewhere I could contact directly about helping in terms of design and Ui?

@rimu@piefed.social and @wjs018@piefed.social are the main devs.

As someone else pointed out, Zulip is the place to chat

If you can code, the repo is below.

Great.

I’m not a coder, it’s the design interface, graphics, usability, layout that sort of stuff.

[–] Blaze@piefed.zip 2 points 2 days ago

Also FYI there are other front-ends available such as https://blorpblorp.xyz/home / or https://vger.app/posts/piefed.social/all

[–] Blaze@piefed.zip 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What we mostly need is a front end dev.

Everybody kind of knows that the current interface is not ideal, but until we get someone able to code a better one, there won't be much change unfortunately.

Ok, great, good to hear.

I do know someone who is a coder, and I will speak to him. I had asked him about Reddit, and what would be involved in creating an alternative.

Good news, thank you, let us know how it goes!
