Open source software tends to be plauged by UX, css, design, spacing/padding/margin & typeface issues which makes it somewhat grating to use, which I mention after browsing around the the gitea test instance for a bit.


I guess they welcome patches...


Maybe this is the case because free projects not backed by a company can't pay a professional frontend engineer :)


Is it harder to pay a professional frontend engineer than to pay anyone else?


At least for Gogs and Gitea nobody gets payed at all, same for lots of other opensource projects. So of course it's hard to pay some frontend engineer if none contributes to the project :)


It's harder to get a frontend engineer to contribute, than the other engineers who do?


Seems like that, the number of developers is always growing, but AFAIK none of them is a frontend engineer.
