Hi everyone,
We’re a small team that is working on a web app that makes use of the Halo API and are looking for an active third developer.
Goals:
Our main goal is to release a very polished product that is a joy to use. Good UX as well as user-centered design and code are very important. We want it to be responsive, sleek, clean and uncluttered - and not push out something just to have it done or add features, just because we can. Ideally we would want to create a project that everyone can appreciate and not just the Halo players that use it.
User:
This project is designed with competitive players in mind and therefore concentrated on “Arena” (with an obvious focus on Team Arena) game modes. We’re testing and do research to make every data point or feature meaningful and useful. Our content is heavily influenced by it’s future users.
Details:
- The tech stack includes a Sails.js back-end, react.js front-end with react router and redux. Database tech isn’t set yet. Ideally it would be great to have a front-end /JS dev who’s experienced or interested in material design and charts/data. - We have a couple of devs already and I’m the UX (and currently UI) designer. As this is an online collaboration we use Slack and Trello for Discussion and Task Management and Github for the Repo. - A lot of our inspiration comes from the many great, creative and useful Halo sites and applications that we’re around during the “golden days of Halo stats” (Halo 2/Halo 3). - Everything we did so far is well documented (Github, as well as project details in text documents), so if our interest are matching it would be easy for someone to join.If you have the skills and can and want to invest some of your spare time send me a quick message, say a few words including what you can or would like to do on the project. I’ll answer all your questions and can tell you some more details.
(This project is also potentially open for UI, Motion (for UI transition mock-ups) or Information designers - or someone with other useful skills. We try to keep the team small, but if you think you might be a good fit let us know).
