There's a lot in the Bitcoin UI Kit. @Chris put together a great video walkthrough.

Quick test using AI to identify and fix accessibility issues (here the reply buttons under Damus iOS notes, using Github Copilot in Visual Studio Code). Looks very promising and should safe tons of time and brain power. Why not always run this on UI PRs?

Result of a Bitaxe workshop yesterday organized by @WantClue and the Bitcoin Munich Meetup. Highly recommend it. Time to do a little bit of hashing now…

Some quick concept explorations with @Chris around beefing up the visual expression of @OpenSecret. Would you use it?

Had a fantastic time at Advancing Bitcoin. Big thanks to the organizers. Super high signal with so many whip-smart and friendly people. Now, how do we make all this bleeding-edge tech easily usable...?

I'd love to see more designers help mentor in the Summer of Bitcoin program. Happy to answer questions if this sounds remotely interesting.

My weekly open-source work update is out with video ramblings on human-readable addresses and assumeUTXO.

People always complain about CSS, but I find it an elegant system. But, it takes a really long time to learn to use it well.
