#51 A short one...

A finger in every pot.

This week was a quiet one, a bit all over the place, so I’ll keep it really brief.

Let’s start with Saving Satoshi. There’s the weekly image generation for Chapter 4, along with various discussions and mini-tasks around milestones, personas, UX details, the story line, PR reviews, etc. The team is smack in the middle of building, pretty much. The project requires a lot of time and focus right now with so many moving parts.

Advancing Bitcoin is coming up, so took care of a few tasks for our next milestone. I added the workshop video and some basic case study summaries to the Bitcoin UI Kit website. Had discussions with Chris around component structure and design system organization. Luckily Chris has some super handy plug-ins to keep things orderly, which is a surprisingly complex and opaque task. I’m excited for the next release and the conference.

Planning for BTC Prague is also progressing. Still early, but sounds super promising.

Jarol is hammering away on the Bitcoin Core App. Latest pre-release review PR is here. Try it out and leave feedback if you have a moment.

I enjoyed the call with the Simple Crypto team this week. Nice turn-out and a good conversation.

Helped Mo a bit with her PR for adding User Personas to the guide. Also joined the UX research call. Super nice to see around 10 people in there, all excited about open research. Also wrote a document listing out projects that happened in the design community, as a way to reflect and help decide what types of research and design tools are useful based on past needs.

And the usual day-to-day conversations, planning, helping a little here and there, etc. I’ll be off until Wednesday for a short break with the family, so I took care of a few things for next week, like newsletter editing. Should be all in good shape there.

And that’s it, have a good weekend.
