I've only recently taken a glance, so take my observations for what they're worth...

I think we have to always think back to the very basics. Who is this for? What are we trying to do?

It's difficult to know what we're going to do, unless we know who it's for.

In terms of the wallet UI, I am unsure of who the target audience is. Some parts of the UI look too technical for a total newbie, but maybe this is not the intended audience.

I always fear spending too much time in one area and forgetting that I've spent too much time in this area and that others may not have a clue about things that are second nature to me.

What may seem like an obvious and clear step in bitcoin wallet usage, may actually be confusing to people who are just looking at it for the first time. And yes, I am aware that some things cannot be abstracted away further, I do wonder if we've abstracted away enough.

So, I guess what I am trying to say is that, maybe we just need A LOT of user testing and feedback from people of all sorts of backgrounds. Maybe that informs our design kits and helps us with the roadmap?

If I were in your exact shoes, I think I would look at the best UX experience we currently have in the ecosystem, and use that as a starting point for improving the UX - and let that be the start of my UI kit.

I might also create distinct categories / use cases for each wallet type / each transaction purpose. Then look at the existing players, and design something more intuitive, more useful than what they currently have - then throw that into the UI kit. Maybe they can use that to get some ideas - or just copy the better UX.

As always, just my mad kat 2 sats. Keep pushing, legend 😻🫡🚀
