looking back at the last 2 months and realizing i was actually cooking. recap soon.
gm. freedom is its own kind of salary.
i don't read design books.
i just design things i think look cool and i want to see. sometimes i get it right, sometimes i don't.
i came up in the private tracker scene. what dot cd, waffles, btn, all of it.
i see bitcoin as a continuation of that tradition. same ethos, different medium.
sometimes you gotta break away from rigid ux psychology and embrace the chances to do small special things. your users will appreciate it.
the invisible vibe of software matters more than you think. people can feel when something was made by people who actually care.
just watched someone pay with apple pay. took 2 seconds. the guy didn't even pause the convo he was having with his friend. one motion, done.
nfc is the way. eliminate all decision points. no qr scanning, no pin entry, no fee verification, no online connection requirements.

feeling insanely bullish on cashu after today's monthly dev call.

fighting for my life trying to get a disposable phone numbers for cashapp. smspool, and lnvpn both aren't working. anyone got any suggestions?
an entire section on bitcoin/crypto under the fold in today's @The New York Times . all negative headlines.
it's all so tiresome.
it came to me in a dream last night, so i just made it. 
it is deeply satisfying to design beautiful software that makes surveillance harder.
been deep in cashu for so long that sometimes i forget some people have never heard of it.
