Ask HN: Are you a UI/UX designer looking for a sideproject to work on?

1 pointsby ud0about 8 years ago
I currently started working on a side project which has been on my mind for years &amp; keeps haunting me. Lately, I met someone on here on HN who was interested enough in the project to join in and we are making progress (the power of the internet :) ).<p>It&#x27;s a mobile app which will also will include a web-based app. Right now I&#x27;m looking for a UI&#x2F;UX designer most likely a student who wants to build their portfolio.<p>I wish I could pay for this but I can&#x27;t because it&#x27;s not generating any revenue yet. It&#x27;s a side project.<p>UI&#x2F;UX designers always create random designs of no-real app, this is an opportunity to create designs for a real app that will be in your portfolio.<p>If you find this interesting enough kindly reach out.<p>Thanks :)

Designers get lots of opportunities to work on stuff for free. Unlike programming, few of them benefit the designer&#x27;s workflow in ways similar to how programming tools benefit a programmer. If a designer is working on something for free, it makes more sense to design something for themselves than people who want something for free...students in particular already have portfolios and a steady stream of non-paying work in the form of assignments (generally assignments will more directly benefit them).<p>Why not offer free programming for a designer who has an idea for a program? It might benefit your resume.
