Boost for reach: Looking for a UI/UX designer for paid work on a F/OSS project.

The fundamental goal is to improve the new user experience for ngscopeclient (https://www.ngscopeclient.org/)

I'm not looking for coding/implementation work specifically, more of general human-factors etc feedback on how to make the UI easier to figure out and as intuitive as possible. It's a complex tool with a large feature set and striking a balance between seas of menus and toolbars blocking your view of the data, and making the UI impossible to navigate, is not trivial.

Experience with electronic test and measurement, scientific computing, DSP, or data visualization is a plus.

If you're willing to offer discounted rates for open source projects that's a bonus.

@azonenberg Something for you to reference perhaps @scottjenson? :)

@troed @azonenberg Thank you so much for thinking of me! I'm actually fairly busy at the moment I'm afraid. This project does certainly sound challenging! A shipping complex tool is never easy to 'rework the UX' as the original power users are often tied to the old model. It's usually easier to nibble around the edges instead of tackling the much deeper issues (object model, how selection works, menu structure, etc) Not saying it wouldn't be fun to try!

@scottjenson @troed This is still a not-formally-released v0.x tool and it's expected that there will be fairly frequent breaking changes until it stabilizes more.

Now is the time to tackle the deeper issues.

Do you have anybody else in mind who might be interested?

@azonenberg @troed let me try boosting it with a comment and see what that uncovers
