If we design with accessibility in mind, crypto gets easier for everyone. All about accessibility design and UX. Warpcasters of all abilities welcome. Purple power.

we had an interesting chat with chris here, check it out!
ux tipp:
WHITE ON YELLOW IS A TERRIBLE IDEA, ALWAYS!!!!!
we at the /okbanger show are working on making the show more accessible to those who are non-native english speakers!

as someone who grew up speaking chinese, i remember how tough it was to learn english. it wasn't just about the vocabulary, but about the way english speakers express themselves culturally. so direct, so demanding! 😂

hopefully closed captions give folks an easier way to follow--I use it now to watch some japanese youtubers and find it helpful to roughly guess what they are saying 😅

note to self: this /los-fomos yellow / mustard / lime green might be one of my favourite colours but it doesn't read well as a link colour on white background.
sharing this here - could be helpful for other peeps!
I’m probably late to notice this action frame—will this help folks with screen readers when encountering screenshot essays?
/accessibility-ux friends, what are your thoughts about screenshot essays?

I want to explore writing more long form on here and thought that would be a good option, but I remember from the bird app that screenshot essays aren’t great for screen readers and the like, esp since there are no annotations for images.
The UX of in-plane entertainment:
I have fairly average fine motor skills. However, I got frustrated on my recent trip with Delta, where I repeatedly landed in the 'children' section instead of the 'flight' panel. Planes typically move - sometimes more and sometimes less. The UX should plan for this. 👩🏻‍✈️
Fantastic. I want to add automatic UX tuning into the mix: depending on how you interact with your interface, it learns and adjusts. This way, your interfaces can evolve with us over time.
I’m curious to see how the new menu bar will perform, however, from my experience it might pose a barrier for certain people who have fine motor skills and/or vision impairments.
I usually root for accessibility first because it improves the experience for everyone 👍
Common UX research issue: receiving dishonest feedback from users to avoid 'hurting' your feelings

Solution:
- Early on in the conversation, mention that you are testing the design (not that you designed it)
- Ask less, instead observe what they do
- Don't ask any 'would' questions. Ask what they did in the past.
crypto UX pulse check
What's most difficult for you in terms of UX? - Buidlers responded:

1. Keeping it simple while providing all necessary info
2. Wallets & signatures
3. Coherence of app features
4. Responsiveness - making UX/UI work on web and mobile
5. Marketplaces: creating an engaging browsing experience
web2: one goal, 1 user journey
web3: one goal, 5+ user journeys
It’s remarkable that around 20% of the population are neurodivergent (eg. autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, etc) and yet it’s ignored by most design institutions/schools.

AI + UX = interfaces adapting to individual needs is the future of interfaces
Web3 UX is fractionalised and we need to plan around that. It’s about bringing the pieces together in a cohesive, smooth way

Great talk @scharf (great slide ux btw)

I'm curious - what were the biggest ux issues you've faced in web3 to date? 👇
I've seen a lot of design faux pas in dapps that make our lives harder. This might not scare off the OG users, but it will be the newcomers, the less-crypto-savy people, who switch to alternatives
