Hey folks, I need some tricks. I am currently a junior dev and struggle with starting side projects. I have some fancy ideas I'd love to work on. Problem is, I HATE UI design. I can't start working on an idea because I want them to look awesome. It is absolutely no problem to code the logic / backend, but the fucking design... I just hate it.
For example, I have some fancy ideas for an file manager that fits my needs. Haven't seen something yet like I imagine right now. I mainly code in C# (or Java) and I have to develop custom UI controls for it, align shitty controls, think about freaking color schemes,... I hate it. I simply hate it.
Do you also struggle with that? Any ideas how to overcome that?

Cheers!

    You just have to try. I'm fucking terrible at it too, but you just have to sit down and make some basic styling. Make it open source and ask for some design help, look at design blogs, and just grin and bear it really :/

    @iam13islucky thank you! It is just not fucking funny, I try it for 2 hours and stop after that. Where is my good old terminal? 😂👍

    Meh, I like UI design. If you want to do some reverse engineering to see how you can make nice looking UIs with Java Swing, take a look at my mod manager:
