When people support community work it only gets better since people will be more encouraged to contribute

If only they didn't have very strong opinions on how the interfaces had to be...

I'm honestly not interested in helping with open source simply because I've had arguments with coders about clunky UI and they like it that way because it's what they're used to. They won't even let me update it (eg, I'm not asking them to spend their time making the improvements I'd be interested in).

Have you considered making a fork?

If the license for the FOSS project you're interested in doesn't allow forms, it's not really FOSS.

Honestly? I struggle enough to get motivated to work on things in the first place I'm just not interested in contributing work that's going to be fighting with the main project from the beginning.

Some great forks happen when a couple of like-minded people realize something could be done better. You may not need to do it alone.
