Hits me over and over again that experience is so rarely in UI. Video call apps with flashy UIs haven’t beaten zoom because the experience is the video quality & uptime

ChatGPT user numbers must be going nuts, still can't log in on the pro plan in. I wonder if they can sustain the cost

Defi anon people switch from being anti establishment to calling for law enforcement awfully quickly when it’s their money stolen

I got an invite to Posts. The app is janky but interesting how different the tone is. Also funny how the invite mechanism is working for them though. People love to feel like they’re the gate keepers

This could be useful for farcaster (data retrieval) when the content needs to be stored and retrieved quickly in a decentralized way. https://blog.kyve.network/kyve-mainnet-successfully-launched-paving-the-way-for-a-truly-trustless-data-future-58bde73ef59f

Would be cool to have a "health factor" on twitter, surely there's a way to tell when the app is going through a chaotic or controversial saga. And maybe give you options to dial it down. (they would obviously never do this, but a client on a permissionless version might ;)

Heart goes out to the Euler team. We’ve been helping design their v2 until today. One of the best and nicest teams I’ve worked with. Hope it sees the light of day.

Similar to others, had a truly terrible experience trying to swap on ethereum over the weekend. Failed transactions still costing me around $200. Having to enable "Flashbots" setting on Rainbow. What naming! Imagine explaining all this to a new person who's just set up a self custody wallet. 🤦‍♂️

If crypto gets adoption without privacy, have we not just created a very efficient financial surveillance tool?

There's a world in which Stripe succeeded with more boring design as generic fintech software. Design can add a magical quality to any kind of business.
