I can probably only name (at tops) 3 web3 products with decent Product Design…beyond UI. Even with UI, accessibility is always lacking. UX is non-existent. It’s disappointing and makes sense why the majority of top Product Designers would rather stay in web2 and don’t take web3 seriously. We can do better, come o

I agree with you 100% but where should we start? That's the question I often ask myself. Example: if you build a web3 product that's mobile first, your options to create a great UX are very limited ... except if you are actually building a wallet, which seems to be the mobile bottleneck for now.

Mobile-first has more rules, which is a good thing. The content is out there...especially if you're building a native app (HIG and Material Design). Make assumptions, conduct discovery research, design, build, ship, test, more UX research, iterate, repeat. It may sound silly, but Medium comes in quite handy.

Hey @meesh thanks for your answer but my point was more: we might be too early because the underlying product stack on mobile (especially wallet) is broken right now. For example, neither Metamask nor Rainbow manage to make deeplinks work right now. Whenever I'm working on a mobile product, I face this problem.

Gotcha! Yeah, I have a lot of thoughts on wallets…experiences feel unnatural and don’t align with the average mental model. Have yet to find a wallet experience I enjoy and trust, on mobile and/or desktop. Definitely too early, but lots of builders in the space. Will be interesting to see how these products unfold.

Definitely - my two cents is that I believe wallet apps are trying to do too many different things right now. They should be very, very good at letting you sign & connect to any dapp (especially on mobile) and let the others do the dirty work of 1) doing onramp / offramp & 2) provide any other web3 service

“We’re the early ones” = *dial up sounds* “Welcome to AOL” Still excited to see how all this unfolds…
