Top scored contributions
This week we did not have a Staff pick. These are the top scored contributions:
Common mistakes and how to fix them
The aim of this section is to show you the most common mistakes found this week. Followed by a short description and tips when applicable. Usually, I split the section in two: Contributions with a score of 25 or less and Contributions with a score of 50 or less.
1 - Contributions with a score of 25 or less
1.1 - The overall presentation of the post is below the average and/or the suggested features do not add significant value
The formatting, language and overall presentation of Utopian posts is important, a good and well formatted post is easy to read and understand.
Always submit original and detailed features that add value to the project. This is not mandatory but highly appreciated, these kind of suggestions usually have a high score.
2 - Contributions with a score of 50 or less
2.1 - The possible solution was not described in sufficient detail
When you propose a new feature, it is great if you add a possible solution although this is not mandatory. Explain how to implement it.
You can add a pseudo code script with your possible solution and detail in which file it should be added.
If you do not know how to code, you can explain in details how this new feature should works. Where should be implemented? In which component of the app? In what position? Why is that a good position for that feature? What happens if you click on it?
Mockups are useful. Edit your images, try to follow the pattern design of the app. For example, if the app use Material Design, try to follow the rules of Material Design and add Icons which are listed in their site. Do not paste a random image/icon that you found on Google.
2.2 - The impact on the functionality and usability of the project is low
If the overall of your post is excellent, but your idea has little impact on the functionality and/or usability of the project or could be achieved in a easy way, you will get a few point less. Try to suggest unique, original and useful features
Interesting open source projects
In case that you want to contribute on the Suggestions category but do not know any project, check this list.
1 - TensorFlow
TensorFlow is an open source software library for numerical computation using data flow graphs. The graph nodes represent mathematical operations, while the graph edges represent the multidimensional data arrays (tensors) that flow between them. This flexible architecture enables you to deploy computation to one or more CPUs or GPUs in a desktop, server, or mobile device without rewriting code. [source]
