Wedding invites are headed to the printer this week 👀

After about a million iterations, pretty stoked on where we ended up

Passkeys enable super fast, easy wallet creation but is that really the holy grail? A wallet should serve as a secure, reliable, and accessible identity.

It's led me to think more about something I'm calling "account durability"

optimal UX does not always mean fewest clicks possible

Meeting people IRL this week? Built a frame so you can look up mutual interests of other farcaster users 😊

https://mutualcaster.vercel.app/frame

Sweet new frame from @vmathur: Enter a Farcaster username and see mutual channels, follows, and liked casts  💞

I like building crypto apps and learning new things.

Actions are a really powerful primitive with a serious discoverability problem that impedes adoption.

One step in the right direction: Allow users to surface recommended actions within a cast

Novel features need to be easy to find and easy to use. Meet users where they are, literally and figuratively.

First few people that verify they own a Spaces, IRL #001 commemorative badge at next weeks happy hour get a drink on me

NYC happy hour next week for anyone building, creating, collecting, or exploring onchain. Swing by!

Totally agree. I’ve been digging deeper into passkeys recently and seems like there are some noteworthy design flaws, this being one of them.

For high-value accounts, i think passkeys ultimately need to be a convenience factor layered on top of a less brittle root auth method (email, recovery phrase, etc.)

I've got doubts about passkeys as a singular authentication method but would love to be convinced otherwise

iCloud + Chrome + 1Password = nightmare stack for passkey UX

I'm sure there are dozens of people out there stoked about all the convoluted design system tooling Figma has released but I am BEGGING for a simple flow line tool. This isn't something that should be left to plugins.

deserving of the hype imo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LJi5na897Y

Zoom continues to find new and exciting ways to ship bad UI

Back from 8 days in Portugal which wasn’t nearly enough time

Incredible nature, culture, food, and people. Wish the trip was twice as long!

unsolicited design feedback: cast actions icon is unintuitive. square grid = “menu”, typically. 

Recommend swapping with ⚡️ or similar that conveys “shortcut” and invites curiosity taps

a coachmark would also help draw attention and educate users when rolling out a sweet paradigm like this that users aren’t familiar.

icons are a simplified mode of communication that rely on pre-existing expectations & mental models

we could, perhaps, go higher https://zora.co/collect/base:0xf9c888daa9ea616af2a4097e9680e67d80a5dc6c/7?referrer=0x1db6aD3344F1Ae0A495b28B031B80cDDd99f2FD0
