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.

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.

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.

It's one of my favorite products, but some folks don't take it seriously. I sure do. But it's the best resource for light reading about basic UX rules.

Why would Medium be silly? Considered a bit basic for UX research?
