My wife started a podcast where she chats with her 2 sisters about moving to the US from Japan as kids, now living on different continents, and lots of other things. Big part of the motivation for doing this is to capture stories to leave behind for the kids eventually. We're naturally also testing out Value4Value, so you can find the show on @Fountain if you'd like to peek in. https://fountain.fm/show/sFWdFizgfYi4yXdeQr1m

Some changes I am looking into for the Bitcoin UI Kit (

Bitcoin UI Kit

Bitcoin UI Kit

This UI kit provides a design foundation for prototypes, concept explorations and open-source projects to kickstart the design process.

First, expand the color palette from 4 to 12, with one primary color, to make the use of color more flexible. Second, replace light/dark mode with style sets that can affect color, type, and other properties. This should make it 100x easier to style the kit to your preferences. See it in action in this video. Third, publish a custom Bitcoin UI Kit plugin with various helper tools. Watch the video to see a work-in-progress version in action and how it enables the theming system. After that, we'll need to update the website to reflect the changes, and also create some how-to videos and explainers. I'd love to have more contributors on these efforts and make this the best UI Kit in past, present, future across the multiverse.

We've had over 400 calls in the Bitcoin Design Community since the inception mid-2020. About 250 those are recorded and on YouTube & BitcoinTV. Creating covers for the videos is always a fun little exercise, making something that looks interesting somehow without much meaning to it. Here are some from mostly recent design guide jam session. https://www.youtube.com/c/BitcoinDesign

Videos created by the Bitcoin Design Community, mostly recordings from our calls.

How can the Bitcoin UI Kit be improved? I am currently gathering ideas for a 2024 roadmap.

Quick test animating a static image from @Saving Satoshi via RunwayML. Just incredible what machine learning can do. It adds so much life.

My (somewhat) weekly update on my open-source design work in the bitcoin ecosystem is live. Anyone know how long until AI can do all this stuff, so I can put on my cowboy hat and ride into the sunset?

Another chapter is live for Saving Satoshi. In chapter 4, you learn how to write the code for deriving an address from a private key. The team is already busy with chapters 5 (message verification) and 6 (constructing transactions).

My latest newsletter is out with mostly boring updates on the uninteresting things I worked on this week. Only look at it if you really have nothing else to do.

Can you figure this out? One of the upcoming coding challenges in nostr:6134ec21da95eebc6c3d733f3824de41c0b38eaf1781fb40a2776b96d3ccdd32 .

How hard should we push people towards proper security measures? Do nothing? Keep it subtle and rely on them to "get it"? Or be super intense and in their faces about it and induce anxiety? And of course it's difficult because value is relative to one's personal financial situation, etc. Just feels like we're a bit too tame about this right now and could get just a tad more bold.

Seeing lots of tiny fonts and tight spacing when exchanges, wallets, etc ask me to verify addresses. Making this bigger is an easy fix that can lead to fewer mistakes and eye strain, but might lower sales of magnifying glasses.

Do not follow @Paulo, it's an impersonator of @Paulo Sacramento. I mention it because at least one person I know follows them instead of the real Paulo. Do enough clients support reporting? And are we already highlighting reports when we look at profiles? When someone is considering pressing the follow button might be a good moment to check for reports, maybe even retroactively to reduce load. Something I need to look into for @npub1z29u...heag (only shows reports a person has made, not reports made about them).

Neatly organized UI. What screen is this? Spoiler:

Just posted another weekly update with open-source bitcoin design stuff that kept me busy the past 5 days.
