Legacy: Introductions and Getting Started Chat

Hi Everyone!

I’m Alen, I’m a UX/UI designer who is based in California and is currently in the middle of a career change. I decided to join because I’m looking for some real world scenarios where I can apply my design / user centered mindset while hopefully meeting and connecting with other like minded designers.

@AndyatFocallocal In regards to your question about the Reddit DM, I can’t speak for everyone but at least in my case it went straight into my inbox. So it wasn’t blocked by spam.

Hi everyone!

This is such an exciting project!

I have studied and love Positive Psychology - the science of happiness. I’ve run workshops and developed content. Really enjoy this space. I have also taught online marketing for a while including UX and digital copy writing.

I have been creating Wordpress sites and fixing issues for years and now I am focusing on building things from scratch in HTML, CSS, Javascript. I will be learning React soon too. I’d love to work with this team and build up some experience. If you have any task recommendations that would be great.

Happy to be part of this. Have an awesome day all!

New users today. Just posting because if everyone joins in the team we build will transform this platform into an amazing experience where everyone who wants to build a brighter world can find each other and make it happen.

Also please do invite your friends and colleagues - the more the merrier. We’re building a system designed to focus thousands, or millions of users, so creating a self-growing community is definitely welcome.

Hello Amin. Would you like help getting started with a task?

Yes please, I’ve read some of the documents available in this forum.

If there’s any onboarding/simple enough task for web developers I’d like to try it.

your skills look to be quite well balanced @lit-codes. would you rather work on a Ruby-on-Rails, React, or backend task?

In the [boards for the Web Dev team](https://publichappinessmovement.com/c/web-developers/l/latest?board=default_ is a complete overview of all webdev tasks, but that is probably too broad to be useful to get started with.

I’d rather start with React as it’s most similar to what I’m doing right now.

Cool. the tasks are here: https://publichappinessmovement.com/tags/reactjs/l/latest?board=default (there’s a lot i still need to move over from Trello).

I recommend the different colour icons task. Just in case you haven’t found it, there is a guide in the documentation tag here about setting up a local version to work on.

@lit-codes This task is also a very useful one. A little more complicated though: Location service adapts zoom based on how active the maps are

Trying to move this to #doing I get this error: You are not permitted to view the requested resource.

That’s very interesting. Can you post a screenshot?

Also try simply adding the #doing tag to the thread and deleting the other. That’ll help narrow it down.

I think the kanban plugin has an issue with new members, although I’m not sure why

Btw, @lit-codes, we’re currently working on the master_withoutDCS branch

@Mateo @aeglobal @MarinaOhNo @lit-codes @krunal-tony @ZaraAlyssa @AlenHuang

It feels like something is missing. When anyone posts in this category its like playing catch with a cloud. I suggest we start using the Teams function, so we can engage in team discussions, ask each other for feedback and set up things like collaborations and meetings.

it works by adding a tag, like this one: @UXers and if you want others to be able to call your attention to something they are working on/suggestion you can join the team by using the link below:

I’ve also added it into the header to make it easy for new members to see.

Hi,
I’m a graphic designer and would like to volunteer doing anything graphics related that you need. /u/travelwaves told me to introduce myself here to get more information on a logo you need. Tell me all the details you can about it, the more the better.
Cheers,
Isaiah
