Volunteer Developers Wanted for Open-Source Cross-Platform Art App (Remote-US/Canada Only)

Hi everyone!

I’m Lisa, a digital artist and designer building Palettea, a cross-platform illustration and animation tool for digital creators. Palettea is an open-source, volunteer-driven project designed to be a lightweight, intuitive alternative to subscription-based tools. Our goal is to empower artists with freedom and flexibility while building a collaborative, creative community.

We’re currently looking for volunteer developers based in the US or Canada to help us bring Palettea to life. Contributions can include:

  • Cross-platform development (desktop and/or mobile)
  • UI/UX design and implementation
  • Rendering logic and graphics features
  • Documentation, testing, and small coding tasks

What we’re looking for:

  • Experience in JavaScript, TypeScript, C++, C#, Flutter, Swift, Kotlin, and/or other relevant languages
  • Clear English communication skills
  • Collaborative mindset, willingness to learn, and reliability
  • All experience levels welcome — beginner to advanced

Commitment & Details:

  • Estimated 5–10 hours per week, flexible
  • Volunteer/unpaid role — this is for experience, learning, and portfolio building
  • Burnout-safe environment — quality and consistency matter more than quantity
  • Fully remote; US/Canada only (please include your state/province and city for timezone coordination)

If this sounds interesting, please fill out this short form → Link

We’ll review responses and follow up via email or Discord DM with next steps.

Looking forward to building something amazing together!

— Lisa
