Hi! I'm working on a project to develop an open source decentralized system
for sharing biological samples (DNA, strains, etc). Think decentralized
github + inventory tracking + biological sneakernet :)
I'm doing the client and server side javascript but we need someone to help
us with the UI/UX design and implementation.
Let me know if you're interested and we can meet up somewhere.
Formal description below.
------
# Description
Work with the bionet team to develop UI/UX for web app aimed at
facilitating the decentralized sharing of open source physical biological
materials (DNA, strains, etc). Work will include developing web app look
and feel through communication with the rest of the team, sketching
wireframes, building mockups and implementing a UI for the web app using
HTML and CSS (no javascript).
# Time commitment
Part-time employed position for now.
# Start date
Immediate.
# About the team
We're a small team of six dedicated humans working on aspects of the
project
ranging from wetware and legal to hardware and software. You will work
closely with our software lead to integrate UI with frontend/backend
functionality, and collaborate with all teammembers on aspects of the app
as they relate to their respective areas of expertise.
# Software details
The project is new and development on the first prototype is underway but
in
its early stages. All code is being released under open source licenses.
The software stack is nodejs + leveldb + browserify using modules and ideas
for decentralized/offline web apps developed by folks including substack,
mafintosh, dominictarr and maxogden. Focus is on development and reuse of
small modular components rather than reliance on existing frameworks.
# Skills
UI/UX design experience. Extensive experience with modern web app frontend
html+css development for both desktop and mobile. Experience with
development of custom graphical UI assets. Basic command line experience
and ability to use git/github a plus. Javascript experience a plus but
definitely not required. Experience with open source development a plus.
# About The BioBricks Foundation
Our mission is to ensure that the engineering of biology is conducted in an
open and ethical manner to benefit all people and the planet.
