Hi everyone! We need young people looking to work with an actual production codebase to help create experiences for article authors and editors.
The Journal
The Young Scientists Journal is a non-profit peer-reviewed science journal for under 21's. Completely staffed by young people (~200 editors, ~10 artists, ~2 devs).
Me
I joined the Young Scientists Journal when I was 15. I was the one of the first developers there, and I helped them move from their legacy Annotum stack to a semi-decent Wordpress setup. I also, more recently, wrote an Article Management System to handle all these incoming articles. I'll be turning 21 soon enough, so it's time to start looking for people who can take over the reins for the software I've been developing.
Role
Maintain the Article Management System
Help write front ends for submitting and managing articles
Help maintain the Wordpress website (Optional)
What we need from you
Be a young person
Have at least one project written in JavaScript
Be willing to learn TypeScript
Be willing to learn how to deploy TypeScript apps
Don't worry if any of that sounds intimidating. When I started, I hadn't seriously used a programming language before. The difference is, when you join, I'll be there to get you accustomed to working with this kind of codebase.
If you have any questions about the position, want to help with something different or even want to submit an article, leave a comment or send me a message.
Thanks to everyone for reading this!
from the YSJ!
