Attempts at getting Midjourney to render a guy slipping on banana. Funny, but not funny in the way it was intended to be 😂 image

Accessibility testing is way more convenient than most think. Here's a short video that shows how to do it (Mac & Safari, looking at BTCPay invoice screen) and some common issues. Same if you want to test on your phone. More info and videos on the accessibility page in the Bitcoin Design Guide. Join us for Accessibility Awareness Day on May 18.

Needed some made-up bitcoin company & logos for a design mock-up. AI to the rescue. Here we have The Bitcoin Emporium, Satoshi's Secret Stash, Bit-o-rama, and (my favorite) Blockchain Boogie. AI language is such an interesting phenomenon, but good enough for a quick mock. image

My fully validating, pruned node is now synced. Love it. Took 9 days on a 2+ year old Android. image

A quick 2 minute 25 second demo of an accessibility test of a bitcoin mobile wallet. Easy fixes all over the place that can really help people.

# #52 An even shorter one? _Half family trip, half work._ My work week started Wednesday afternoon after getting back from a family trip. Was a great time to get bitcoin off of my mind, and then it was straight back into action with core and community calls that afternoon. For [Saving Satoshi](http://savingsatoshi.com/), we are heads down now on getting our demo out. I spammed our [demo milestone]( with a ton of minor polish things that should be tightened up for a first low-key release. Lots of stuff to do across lessons content, story, design, image generation and development. But it’s the part of the project where a long to-do list of really small things is the modus operandi, and that’s totally normal. It can just feel a bit overwhelming due to the broad spread of the to-dos. ![](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%2F2859547f-12cf-439e-85ff-853e443d086a_1536x1024.jpeg) The [Satlantis review call](http://satlantis.net/) was super interesting. Game design is a really intricate art, and there’s plenty of overlap with designing applications (like onboarding, designing for different types of player personas, etc). After a discussion came up around Nostr onboarding not being great (sparked by this [note](https://damus.io/note1skcywhsxkr545kmydfkka45u964ypy4u74ycgmw9gqx3t5850ugqe9nlte)), I shared some work-in-progress on a Nostr web app design I’ve been toying with. Everything is in this video (and a [live link]( The Bitcoin Core App ([design docs](https://bitcoincore.app/)) dev gang is working hard at wrapping up development for V1. Next week, Mo and I will put together some documentation around testing (test build is [here](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui-qml/pull/211)) and launch. Also need a bit more design documentation (small stuff like input field validation logic). But the big thing next week is [Advancing Bitcoin](https://www.advancingbitcoin.com/). Time to wrap up and release a new version of the [UI Kit]( and get that workshop ready. It’s going to be super exciting to meet all those builders that make this amazing ecosystem tick. 👋🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
