Pain Points
/pain-points12131
A place to log web3 UX frustrations for design inspiration.
would hate to be a paradigm lp in 2022 2023 or 2024
dang i was spitting
is there a channel for no-code / low-code builders? if not let’s make one
Interesting POV by /unlonely . love the contrarian take.
my 2 cents of why I don't speculate is b/c I would rather spend that time building or invest in my own venture than coins.
I know plenty of speculators but I do feel their is a sense of systematic fatigue in the ecosystem from not onboarding net new users. the products are too crypto native, spiralling the same set of users.
while this has enabled interesting experiences, it has deterred many regular users who don’t want to think too much when using social platforms.

Controversial opinion: Coinbase wallets may have solved onboarding via pass keys but they have a big distance to cover.
I really hate new chrome tabs opening up everytime i want to do a transaction for e.g.
Rabby is far far ahead in terms of a great wallet UX

There was discussion on X today about the “punk heist”, and this post brought up a good point about crypto’s exclusionary nature. (You need dev expertise to properly participate).
Which gives me an idea: what if contracts were treated like REST APIs? That is, documented in a machine-readable way (like OpenAPI specs).
Then users could access dashboards showing all the contracts they’ve interacted with (filtering required, obv), notify them of significant events (like the “shotgun” call in this punk heist), and give them a user-friendly UI with which to interact with the contracts in turn (in this case, to reject the shotgun proposal).
It’s not enough that Etherscan etc effectively let you call contract functions. Even for a dev, doing that’s pretty scary, and in this story, a small mistake caused unintended consequences. I think we can do better. What do you think?

Social media external links can be frustrating! @matthewfox and @chinmay.eth discuss this. 👇

UX Designers, what words are you using to direct non-crypto folks to create a smart wallet when connecting to your dapp ?
i think “create wallet” is what i’ve seen most commonly, but that feels a little foreign for someone who has no crypto context at all

“We are so back”
more like, “We are… working on it”

I hate popups, overlays, and anything else that randomly gets in the way of why you're actually on an app/site.
I need to know what my friend is saying about his breakfast faaaar more than I need to know there are new casts for me to see. But there's literally no way to make this go away without having to navigate away from the current screen.
Why not just make the home a button that turns purple when there's new casts available?
Death to popups.

Sending large onchain payments to EOAs still makes me nervous
Even with SAFE multisigs, Tenderly simulation and checking the event logs
Time slows down between confirming the tx and the funds showing up where they're meant to be

everyone is focusing on the token unlock schedules, nobody is focusing on the fact that all the tokens are overvalued (which is why the unlock schedule is so important)
clicking “show/read more” only for it to open another tab instead of expanding 😭
why is web3 reverting to the “Enter App” thing? this is poor UX.
Some pain points i experienced in the last couple of days
1. Bridging from EVM to Bitcoin without a CEX
2. Reading Bitcoin transactions
3. Swapping meme coins on 1Inch (they don't support most tokens natively ,need to import)

Having to choose what channel every post goes into is actually a bit too much friction imo
