Arké is coming along nicely. I like this phase where you do a ton of small iteration and tweaking and you can feel the overall experience becoming more polished and smooth. And I am sure a whole bunch of my decisions will prove to be wrong in user testing. But that’s no reason not go out with opinionated UX. Have a good weekend. And let’s be kind to one another.

Took a brief look at QR code styling (difference in density comes from different error correction settings).

Ah, time to unfollow some people spreading replacement theory conspiracy theories. Astounding that anyone actually believes this stuff.

Super messy Arké update, but here we go. Unilateral exit, fee summary, activity & console. Like insurance, unilateral exit is one of those things that you really never want to use, but still want to have just in case. So if the Ark server goes away, you can still recover your funds. Still need to wrangle a lot of tech into submissions and polish the UI to glory.

I always take a ton of screenshots when I build something, and annotate them thoroughly. That, and tons of testing, is pretty much the only way to be sure it's all smooth and polished.

Working through the unilateral exit in Arké. I think it can be pretty simple in the end, but there's a lot of complexity under the hood to work through. It's an essential part, as this is what lets you recover your bitcoin even if the server that facilitates your payments goes away (or turns into a diamond-covered skull, I heard that could happen).

Wrote something about the goals for Arké. Feedback appreciated.

Ark, eh?

Nice to get an update from our electric utility provider that electricity prices will be 8.8% lower next year. More of that, please.
