Speaking of the #MastodonUI two great customizations comes to mind that are both worth looking at.

@cragsand @MastodonEngineering @Mastodon @elk I think they are aware. 😅
I've been sending my ideas under issue discussions and pretty sure that couple of things we have today were inspired by other UIs like Elk and Mastodon Bird UI.
But things need to be built to core. The SCSS side of it needs major rework. I hope they find someone who is eager to take the task.

@rolle @cragsand @MastodonEngineering @Mastodon @elk Thats our goal, nobody from the team was dedicated to the web interface, and I want someone to "own" this part of the code and be able to drive the many changes that it requires.

@renchap @rolle @cragsand @MastodonEngineering @Mastodon @elk 🤔

@WTL I wish I could do it, but I have a company to run. :sadblob:
Mastodon Bird UI is a one-css-file holiday project, but the whole Mastodon front end code base requires more time and energy - which I do not currently have after my company obligations. So it's not a money issue, it's a time-energy issue 😅
One could think me or some of our front end engineers in our company would be available for hire, but we're fully booked for months and this project deserves at least one continously dedicated front end engineer for it.

@rolle @cragsand @MastodonEngineering @Mastodon @elk unraveling and cleaning up SCSS is up my alley, but React and JSX are things I try to avoid. Svelte and Vue are so much better.

@fnordius @rolle @cragsand @MastodonEngineering @Mastodon @elk i agree. I fly SCSS, I try to make html UI/UX accessible, and proficient with vainilla JS. But React/Redux ... Nope

@FantasmitaAsex I love SCSS and have no problem with any type of JavaScript. JS is not CSS and thank god it's not CSS-in-JS.

Maybe "to elevate the web UI/UX experience" you should search UI and UX designer.
Believe it or not.

@gub We already have a designer on the team, but no dedicated interface developer, hence this position.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from renchap@oisaur.com
@renchap
Great. But the way it's presented is confusing.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from gub@framapiaf.org
@renchap @gub What’s important for this job? Creating the templates? Developing the logic? Both? As someone with deep CSS skills but not so good TS skills (I’m a Designer) I feel some of the requirements fit like a glove, but others are more fit for someone like one of my devs (that are not that good at CSS or accessibility, for example, but great at the logic of web apps). Thanks!
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from dmian@mastodon.social
@dmian Both are important, and this position has a strong Javascript/Typescript requirement. We are looking for someone with both template (HTML/CSS/…) and JS skills, as we are a very small team and this person will be the only one dedicated to the frontend for now.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from renchap@oisaur.com
@renchap Oh! Understood. Thanks!
Edit: not for me, clearly, as I’m strong in points 1 and 2 (and also Web Performance Optimization, which comes handy), but not 3. And I was trying to think of other candidates, but the ones I know that are strong in 3 are not strong in 1 and 2. If I remember somebody I’ll let them know of the position. Cheers!

@MastodonEngineering @Mastodon I hope that hiring this person will make it possible to stop the mechanism that today turns preview images into preview text as you scroll. It moves buttons inches away from the click during the click gesture(!) causing errors and making users chase the buttons with the mouse, and it hides the images that we want to see.

@skry Could you open an issue on GitHub about this, including a video if possible? This is very unexpected and I am not sure what is happening here

@MastodonEngineering @Mastodon the published pay range doesn’t strike me as quite commensurate with the desired skills (unless I misread). I know there’s a cost-of-living difference between the US and Europe, but…
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from shovemedia@triangletoot.party
@shovemedia It is in line with the salary of the other team members of similar experience, and with the average pay range in Europe. We know that some startups or big companies are paying people more than this, but s a non-profit funded only by donations we can not match the top paying companies.

Am I the only one who can't wait for the day when the percentage of jobs at cool companies like @Mastodon @MastodonEngineering asking you to suffer through painful stacks like React or TypeScript drops to single digits?
The web is long overdue to rediscover the virtues of vanilla JS, smaller dependency trees, and progressive enhancement.

@MastodonEngineering @Mastodon Guys, UX experience is elevated by UX designers. Developers then build what’s the designers design.
Are you considering a design position as well? I think Mastodon really needs it.
