# 51 A short one... _A finger in every pot._ This week was a quiet one, a bit all over the place, so I’ll keep it really brief. Let’s start with [Saving Satoshi](http://savingsatoshi.com/). There’s the [weekly image generation](https://www.figma.com/file/0Fg2IiEbLI5o8juawKqkJM/Saving-Satoshi-images?node-id=103%3A915&t=BSgXEvq0ZL3TLSbR-1) for Chapter 4, along with various discussions and mini-tasks around milestones, personas, UX details, the story line, PR reviews, etc. The team is smack in the middle of building, pretty much. The project requires a lot of time and focus right now with so many moving parts. ![](https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08a7ecae-df91-4dd2-970a-8e4f25af2bf4_1536x1024.jpeg) [Advancing Bitcoin](http://advancingbitcoin.com/) is coming up, so took care of a few tasks for our next milestone. I added the workshop video and some basic case study summaries to the [Bitcoin UI Kit website]( Had discussions with Chris around component structure and design system organization. Luckily Chris has some super handy plug-ins to keep things orderly, which is a surprisingly complex and opaque task. I’m excited for the next release and the conference. Planning for [BTC Prague]( is also progressing. Still early, but sounds super promising. Jarol is hammering away on the Bitcoin Core App. Latest pre-release [review PR is here]( Try it out and leave feedback if you have a moment. I enjoyed the call with the [Simple Crypto](http://simple-crypto.app/) team this week. Nice turn-out and a good conversation. Helped Mo a bit with her [PR](https://github.com/BitcoinDesign/Guide/pull/981) for adding User Personas to the guide. Also joined the [UX research call]( Super nice to see around 10 people in there, all excited about open research. Also wrote a [document]( listing out projects that happened in the design community, as a way to reflect and help decide what types of research and design tools are useful based on past needs. And the usual day-to-day conversations, planning, helping a little here and there, etc. I’ll be off until Wednesday for a short break with the family, so I took care of a few things for next week, like newsletter editing. Should be all in good shape there. And that’s it, have a good weekend. 🏂
