Anyone contributing to Lemmy's code development

Anyone contributing to Lemmy's code development - Lemmy.world

Curious if anyone is working on the codebase for Lemmy. I’m sure we all see a few places where it could use some love. The main repos are: - https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy [https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy] - https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui [https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui] Personally, I’ve been working on a few small things for docs. PS: Here’s a pretty easy ticket to jump on if you want to get started :) https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1214 [https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1214]

I created a proposal with UI design changes. Feel free to post a comment with your feedback: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1183

More things would need to be changed to make the app more readable, but I didn't want to propose too many changes at once. So this is just for the main page with default theme.

That's pretty nice! I think that the theme could def use a little love. I think the devs said at one point that they want to make it so any bootstrap theme could be imported but for now it's just the two themes.

Are you a designer?

Thanks! I'm a front-end developer :)

Maybe you could make your changes as a userscript first and let people play around with it? I'd def test it out :)

Fun fact: there used to be many more lemmy themes that were pretty cool but they got ripped out as too hard to maintain a while ago.

That sounds interesting! I wanted to be able to use it myself in case devs weren't interested in changing the UI. Can you tell me how it works and how to do that?
