Day 6 - Building Lightswap - Too Many Tabs in My Brain

617 sats \ 2 comments \ @stackingharder 30 Aug builders

Today wasn’t great.

I spent about 4 hours on Figma designs, here's a snapshot of one of the screens I redesigned:

then 2-3 hours on the newsletter—but I couldn’t land on a topic that felt right.

I had plenty of ideas but none that I felt like talking about now. Some ideas were quite lofty like how AI represents a UX change and how this is often overlooked. I could chuck it into ChatGPT and try to get an answer but I want to write something I genuinely believe and represents my thoughts. Plus I can't stand AI slop. Ideas take time to develop - at least for me - and so thinking it would come in an afternoon was somewhat naive.

I also feel starting many things and not completing any of them or even being close to finishing them doesn’t leave me feeling satisfied. I have many tabs in my brain still running but I’m sure I’ll write a great newsletter post soon.

Any ideas on what you’d like to see in the newsletter?

I would definitely be interested to hear more about how you are thinking about AI changing UX. Yours is the first wallet I've seen that seems to be really embracing this shift, and I'm curious about it. What are some of the risks you see that are unique to interacting with a wallet via dialog? Do you see it changing how people interface with signing devices?

Also, daily newsletters are brutal. Take some of the pressure off yourself. Writing about whatever it is you're doing is interesting enough. I'm enjoying it.

I’m fascinated by the intersection of AI and UX, and I’ll be sharing a short series of posts (at least three) on the risks and shifts I see ahead.

A mouse or a touchscreen is an extension of your hand—still bound by physical gestures. Natural language, on the other hand, is an extension of your mind. The leap isn’t about efficiency alone; it’s about collapsing the distance between your intention and outcome. That’s one of the frontiers AI opens up, and I’ll dig deeper into it in my next newsletter/blog post.

The newsletter is weekly, thankfully, but I like to write iteratively every couple of days so I never start from a blank page. Really glad you’re enjoying it—there’s much more to come!
