Approachable OSI

[fire17]

Proposed change

Making an approachable GUI for this community

Motivation

Hi there!
First of all just for context, I just googled
"Suggest idea open source" and got here.

So let me thank you,
I was developing an idea about building an app for suggesting open source ideas.
So thank you so much for already making this! It's one more project checked on the list :)

Anyways I hope to get more familiar with the current OSI platform (GitHub issues oriented) soon but I believe that this projects deserves a better front-end. Going to the site is just a never ending list, it should be more user friendly, modern looking, with searches, categories like new, tending, favorite ideas, and so on. All in a nice visual GUI. Maybe even users, and "friend suggestions" based on coming interests/follows/searches. And of course putting this all in a pretty little app will be the best. I think that any UI improvements that will make osi more approachable will be enriching to this community.

Proposed implementation

To be honest I'd start from wix, or Django or something that will be a quick major change in the UI, then work on app design and architecture

Little Disclaimer, if you do have an app/better site/ or something and I don't know about it, apologies (put it in the upper readme like you're site). And if something is on the pipeline I'll be happy to get a referral so I can contribute where I can

Hope to hear more! Thank you!
Have a great weekend!
