Designer & developer. Helping improve bitcoin design with many others at https://bitcoin.design . I write a weekly update at https://gbks.substack.com . ✌️
I'm excited for the dev/hack/day at BTC Prague next week. I'll present findings from the interviews with activists we did at the Oslo Freedom Forum. They have serious problems bitcoin can help with, but the majority is not using it.
I asked Claude to do a usability review of nosta.me. It spent 15 minutes to successfully set up a profile and put together a nice usability report.
Prompt and report are included in a doc under the video. If you're working on a web app, I recommend doing this to get a good baseline review. Just let it run during your next coffee break.
Also, here's the account it set up:
Spent the weekend with my son on the Runway 48-hour hackathon and we came up with this goofy short-film. Was a great chance to tinker with all the latest AI video/image/sound tools. Tons of limitations still, but also very powerful (and fun).
One of the best parts about open-source bitcoin is collaborating with so many friendly, interesting, and talented people from all over the world. Truly borderless and permissionless.
So if we want scaling and we're strict about self-custody, then is bitcoin + lightning + ark a promising combo moving forward? Settlement, interconnectivity and payment hubs?
Fully in event planning mode at the moment. Between the Designathon, Oslo Freedom Forum, BTC Prague, and Presidio Bitcoin events, there's a lot to organize in the Bitcoin Design Community. If you're looking for opportunities to tinker on fun bitcoin stuff with fun people, take a peek at the Designathon (global), Bitcoin 2025 hackathon (global), and the upcoming BTC++ (Austin) one.
