> Sure, VLC is probably not always the best for your usecase

VLC is both consistent and almost always the best media player for the platform. I especially love your Android UI/UX.

It has been my go-to player for ~14 years now, installed it on my high school desktop windows, my university linux and now work MBP and personal Android never disappointed me. Thanks for keeping up the quality work, I give you as example of good quality open-source project when the topic comes up.

Do you have any "need" for a fullstack/infra kind of person? Or any place we can see what know-how needs you have at the moment?

Would love to get involved with my limited capacity.

Also thanks for staying open source and privacy conscious.

Yes, we do. Both web (JS for VLC and for our website), backend (Go) and infra are needed.

And currently, people who are able to write Ruby to improve gitlab upstream.

This I am able to do. How can I help?

I've contributed in very small ways previously (getting libdav1d into Handbrake[1], designing the dav1d logo[2]). Would love to be able to offer my time in a domain I'm skilled in.

Their vlc UI on Android is an issue for me because it overlaps the ANDROID ui buttons (home back etc )

This is a bug in your Android ROM, not in VLC. We try to work-around those bugs, but we need to do that, one by one. It is tricky.

What ROM do you have?

I'm using a stock rom Android 9 . My phone is a one plus 6 . Maybe it's an issue with notch compatibility .

My OnePlus 6T is fine as far as I can tell.

It is Android 10 but was fine in 9 also.
