It's going well but I tried for *4 years* to find an open source project to help and let's just say, it was NOT easy. Most FOSS projects are just a few people, massively overworked and don't really understand UX. The heavy programmer culture suggests "Just do a PR" (which is terrible advice!). I suggest contacting maintainers directly and see if you can do some higher level work. If they refuse/pushback, just walk away and try another.

@scottjenson@social.coop what you describe is exactly what I fear! I have to decide if I have enough energy to try this out. @PavelASamsonov@mastodon.social
