Design

You know how physical products offer satisfying clicks, thunks, snaps and other manifestations of asymmetric physics phenomena (potential wells, clean fractures, melts)? I’ve always felt virtual products try hard but never hit it. Skeuomorphism lacks substance of asymmetric phenomena. But crypto transactions hit it.

You don’t need 3d graphics and shit. Minimalist flat design will do. Cryptography supplies a digital native “satisfying thunk” phenomenon that you can design UXes around. Irreversible tx are not a UX problem. They are a feature. You can tell when trad designers fight rather than enshrine irreversibility in UX.

That does nothing for me. It’s the knowledge of irreversible commitments. Signatures and other tx with no money do it for me too. As does trad stuff like ssh with a key pair

what helps is that we believe crypto transactions are actual money transactions, it’s not skeuomorphic, money is real when you believe it’s real., so the experience of transacting is real. 

as we believe banknotes represent value - think of stagecoaches driving through the desert with stacks of paper being robbed.

Yeah mostly, though I’ll make an exception for the MacBook touchpad. That one works on me perfectly

I like the Taptic Engine bumps when the chatgpt app generates text on iOS. So satisfying!
