Contribute to our OS React Client

Dear LangCorrectors,

I have some incredibly exciting news to share with you all. We’re making a significant upgrade by transitioning from Django templates to a cutting-edge single-page application built with React. What’s more, I’m thrilled to announce that the React client will be open-sourced. This change will revolutionize the user experience, bringing it up to modern standards and ensuring consistency throughout. I’m integrating Material UI to provide a cohesive interface and elevate the visual aesthetics with its fantastic micro-interactions. This update has been long overdue, and I believe it will not only enhance LangCorrect for everyone but also provide me with valuable experience working with React, helping me secure a junior software engineering role.

Now, I’m reaching out to ask for your valuable assistance. I invite you to join me and another developer on this exciting journey and contribute to the development of our open-source application. Whether you’re a seasoned React developer or just starting out, your contributions are warmly welcomed.

Here’s how you can get involved:

  • Help make the client fully responsive on mobile devices.
  • Assist in integrating MUI, ensuring consistent theming and styling.
  • Aid in writing tests and conducting quality assurance to ensure reliability.
  • Contribute to comprehensive documentation, making the project accessible to developers and users.
  • (Senior React Devs) Provide feedback on pull requests, identify and fix bugs, and help maintain a stable codebase.

By contributing to this open-source project, you’ll enhance your React skills, gain experience with Material UI, and help make LangCorrect better than ever. Your contributions will be duly acknowledged within the project.

To get started, please visit the project repository on GitHub at GitHub - LangCorrect/react-client-mui: A WIP React Client for LangCorrect. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or discussions via the repository’s issue tracker. For a quicker response, please join us on our Discord server: Discord.

Thank you for your support and enthusiasm. Together, we’ll take LangCorrect to new heights!

Warm regards,
Mase
