Hi! I need some help finding an artist that will help me do some UI design for my up coming OS for my up coming phone! See here: https://tech.lgbt/@temmie19/115476271885630475

I'm looking for a 2000s-esque UI design, and I'm willing to pay commission for the icons made.

If you or anyone you know might have an idea about this, please let me know! Otherwise please boost so I can try to reach out to more artists! Thank you!

@temmie19 Sounds fun. If you are able to open-source the operating system, and if I'm able to buy one, I might be interested :-).

You can take a look at https://wiki.postmarketos.org/ for an operating system and various UIs.

@pavel No I'm making an OS from scratch. This thing only has 45 megs of RAM, so I can't use Linux

@temmie19 45MB is a bit small, yes. (Linux would fit there, but... you probably want to avoid complexity).

Rather then starting from scratch, may I suggest starting from something existing? I have a good experience with https://www.espruino.com/ -- running it on smartwatch with less than 1MB RAM. If you have a touchscreet, it should be good fit.

Being open source is important part there.

@pavel It doesn't have a touch screen, as that's kind of the point. I already have a kernel made, I just don't have a lot of experience designing UI elements as I'm not very good at drawing, hence this call for help
