Yeah I’m not sure exactly what Paul meant… If you were to start developing a small app I’d
start with a Glossary app since that’s very simple (for the simple version of it) ;) lol…
More seriously you could pick some easy jira issues or start developing the glossary app
and regularly post on the devs list what you’re going to do and how you’re going to do it
so that we can tell you if you’re going in the right direction or not.
When developing an app, please don’t use AWM since that gives a specific L&F and we
don’t want that L&F for the apps we develop.
You could also start by doing some design mockups and propose them on the list.
Thanks!

Hello Sarthak,
so what’s your next steps?
It was recommended to endorse an issue. That could be one way to start.
But maybe before that, you could create one or two own applications beyond
simple tutorials that would empower you with the tricks of page rendering?
I am not able to figure out what type of application should I develop.
Could you please provide me with some ideas, so that I am able to form a
mini proposal for myself and then work on it. I can come up with some ideas
but I don't know if it will take me in the right direction or not.
Thanks :)
