These are the four fellows taking part in the Bitshala design fellowship, and the projects they will be contributing to. Very diverse projects covering merchant software, Bip 353 Human Readable Addresses, Ecash/Lightning/Nostr, and this very design community. Sanya will support the BTCPay team, partnering with Pav and Dstrukt. It’s a big project, so there is always a lot of design work that needs to be done, from fixing UX issue, to designing case studies, and tackling new features. Deeksha is joining TwelveCash, working with Stephen to design for a long list of planned upcoming features for managing and pushing adoption of bitcoin usernames (aka BIP 353 Human Readable Addresses). Sushant is helping Sovran, the Cashu and Lightning Wallet (+ nostr integration), to improve the application and balance it both being easy-to-use and feature-rich. @Erik https://sovranbitcoin.com Paperpsych will help the Bitcoin Design Community & Foundation with various activities, such as organizing the next Designathon, reviewing Bitcoin Design Guide PRs, writing the newsletter, and more. πŸ™ Huge thank you’s to everyone for making this fellowship happen and spending your time and energy helping make bitcoin better. image

⚽ It’s kicked off! Today the first ever Bitcoin UX Bootcamp right in Kenya. Today 10 African UX designers sat together and had a journey of learning and collaboration 🌟 We learnt about UX Design Principles specific to Bitcoin, UX research, Bitcoin Development philosophy. Next to that students got hands on doing desk research and each group is assigned to an African Bitcoin wallet which they will be conducting usability testing on. πŸƒ Thank you to Femi for the presentation about Bitcoin Development philosophy and to CK for always showing up and connecting with the students. Thank you Marcel for the support in operations and logistics. Also to Mark for the help with setting up the usability testing structure which the students will be doing on 5 African built wallets. A big thank you to HRF for supporting this initiative. Many resources from the Bitcoin Design Community have been used in the bootcamp such as the Bitcoin Design Guide, Open Design Guide & UX Research toolkit. 🌟Last but not least to the students, without you this would not be possible. Super inspiring to see all of these people making Africa shine. image
