Big Tech designed their platforms to keep you trapped. YouTube, X, Instagram, and TikTok aren't neutral spaces. They're businesses built on capturing your attention and data. Their algorithms, notification systems, and content policies all serve one purpose: keeping you engaged on their terms. And their terms alone. There's no freedom

    What’s your normal workflow?

    Our designers use Figma and send us a link so we can see the various user flows, leave comments, etc. It’s not very FOSS-friendly though, but the workflow is pretty good.

    Here are a few options that I think could work:

    • wiki - many projects use them for documentation, and you can easily upload images and videos, track revisions, etc; can also be used for project management
    • something self-hostable, like penpot - more UX-specific tools, but probably not what you’re familiar with
    • forum - similar features as GitHub issues!/discussions, but maybe less intimidating? Keeps GitHub focused on implementation details and less chatty
    • something else?

    What infra do you expect to be there before you jump in? I’m working on a project I’d like to unveil hopefully this year that could really benefit from UX, so I’m genuinely interested in figuring this out.

      I am a dev. The example I gave was meant to be a POV, but in hindsight this was not clear. Because of this, I cannot meaningfully answer your question.

      This topic still deserves genuine and transparent research. I have no doubt there are people already working on this, but I have not seen any notable results.

      [OFF-TOPIC] To be completely frank with you, I’ve think that our communities (federation and open-source) are too splintered. Not in the sense of head count (this is good) but in terms of duplicating and abandoning work (this is bad). We really need a way to get a community-pulse on what is generally needed/wanted. I am not sure what the solution for this is, but I know there is one.
