Organisation Profile
WALLGODDS
Building inclusive tools for global collaboration.
Example Open Source Lab is a community-driven organization focused on developer experience, accessibility, and data tooling. We mentor newcomers, ship production-grade libraries, and help contributors grow with thoughtful code reviews.
PROJECTS
CLI UX Overhaul
A modern overhaul of our CLI to make complex tasks intuitive and traceable. The goal is to reduce friction for contributors and power users with clearer messaging, step-aware progress, and composable subcommands.
Problem Statement
Our current CLI provides minimal feedback and lacks a robust subcommand architecture. As workflows scale, users cannot easily see what is happening, retry failed steps, or compose commands safely. This results in confusion, longer onboarding, and lower contributor confidence.
Focus Area
Developer Experience • Command Design • Tracing • Error Handling
Student Contribution Guide
Start by auditing existing commands and grouping related functionality into subcommands. Propose a progress reporting pattern using spinners/bars and structured logs, then add tracing hooks (timestamps, step IDs). Implement retries and helpful error messages. Add unit/integration tests for the new composition layer and update the README with examples.
Accessibility Audit Dashboard
A polished audit dashboard that surfaces accessibility findings across builds, product areas, and time. It empowers teams to catch regressions early and prioritize fixes that matter most.
Problem Statement
Multiple teams ship changes without unified visibility into accessibility health. Findings are scattered across tools and CI logs, making it difficult to track regressions, identify ownership, and measure improvements over time. This leads to inconsistent standards and user-impacting issues.
Focus Area
Accessibility • Reporting • CI Integration • Trend Analysis
Student Contribution Guide
Integrate automated scanners (axe, pa11y) into CI, normalize results, and store them in a lightweight data layer. Build views for trends, severity, and ownership, with filters for releases and components. Add export/share features and a “how to fix” playbook. Write tests for parsers and core UI states, and ship clear docs for integrating new apps.
Data Viz Templates
A collection of well-crafted, accessible chart templates with strong defaults that make data storytelling effortless. Focused on practical patterns and maintainable APIs.
Problem Statement
Teams repeatedly reinvent chart components, often missing accessibility and consistency. Without opinionated templates and examples, new contributors struggle to create reliable visuals that communicate clearly.
Focus Area
Data Visualization • Component Libraries • Accessibility
Student Contribution Guide
Define a small template API (line, bar, pie) with sensible defaults, keyboard navigation, and color contrast. Add documentation and Storybook demos showcasing real-world data. Include tests for rendering and accessibility. Encourage contributions via a template RFC and starter examples.
