User interface design
User interface design helps us adapt the systems we use to serve a broad set of interests and backgrounds -- especially this very website. In the spirit of Public Lab collaborative work, this page is for sharing and discussing user interface related information.
A number of projects are in progress; we work to make sure they are broken into small enough parts so that people can take them on and solve them. Some are listed at the bottom of this page.

Workflow
We are using this shared Google Presentation to iterate on design solutions, as well as Froala Design Blocks and their drag and drop editor to develop design solutions for these pages. Please post a proposal or sketch if you'd like to get involved!

Open issues
Here are some (disorganized) open design issues we're trying to work on in GitHub:
Resources
Bootstrap
Our site uses Bootstrap 4 to have a consistent visual style -- it includes ready made buttons, menus, forms, and many other elements. https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/
Icons
On our website, we use Font Awesome icons in version 4.7+ and 5+ -- https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0/
