For my fourth issue I wanted to find something a bit more challenging, so as I was searching around I came across a cool WIP application being created by one developer. She was creating a desktop client for Looperman, which is a cool website that houses a pro audio community that shares music loops, acapellas, vocals, beats, and much more. It is like the opensource equivalent for audio, where you can share your work and get feedback/help from others, or help others as well. This app is still in its early stages of development so I was able to contribute by adding a new volume slider feature. The issue was that whenever the user would preview audio clips it would only be able to play at 100% volume, so for user experience she wanted a volume slider to be added. This was a fun issue to work out as I have never worked with audio files in javascript, so it was a great learning experience.
The developer stxarixdust was happy with the initial commit, but also gave some suggestions to improve it. She wanted the Volume label to be replaced with a speaker icon, and for the sliders to be right aligned. This gave me the chance to learn about feather icons, which is a really cool opensource collection of icons. They have a large library of your standard icons and also are customizable! This collection is something I will definitely bookmark for any future projects that need high quality icons.
