BTC Prague hackday was fantastic, here are some snapshots from yesterday. And the action continues at the expo until Saturday.

The design lounge is coming together for BTC Prague hack day tomorrow.

Tick tock, almost time for BTC Prague. We'll be there all days, from June 7 - 10. Stop by at hackday and meet us at our expo booth to chat about open-source design and bitcoin, bring along your project for feedback. Big thanks to Spiral for sponsoring.

Here's the schedule for the design lounge at the BTC Prague hackday on June 7. It will be casual and conversational, touching on various design & bitcoin topics.

We had a great call with Collin yesterday about Etta Wallet, an open-source, and non-custodial bitcoin & lightning wallet with a strong bias towards usability, accessibility and good UX. The Wallet Scrutiny team is also making great progress refreshing their website design with a soft launch coming up very soon. Both are community project that live and breathe with open contributions. Cheer them on and chip in if you can, this is how the bitcoin ecosystem gets built.

7 days until BTC Prague. We’re helping organize a design lounge with talks and design activities, and we’ll also have a booth at the expo. More details to come. Will you be there?

Our design review call with Etta Wallet is coming up tomorrow at 14:00 UTC.

Global Accessibility Awareness Day is over, but let’s keep at it and make these considerations part of our daily design and development best practices. Will we need another awareness day next year, or can we fix all issues by then? Time will tell, it’s up to us 😉.

The most common accessibility problem we found is a lack of labels. What good is a button when you can’t tell what it does? These can be usually fixed application-wide in a few hours by adding simple attributes (like "aria-label": https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-label). Some frameworks even have linters that automatically tell you when you have missing labels - super convenient.
