Here's some feedback, just from working with it a bit.
- You go to the main site and click on Open app. That takes you to a website with dev in the name https://helm-wallet.pages.dev/. That makes me think it's just for dev. Maybe have 2 separate links?
- I see that further down in the Try It area, you specify mainnet or testnet. But when you click on those links, it turns out the network settings are identical in the pages that come up.
- I don't understand the listings in the Network section. You have Liquid, Mainnet and Testnet. So when you choose Liquid, you're choosing plain Liquid (does it have a testnet equivalent?). And then the other options are Mainnet and Testnet - so at that point, you're actually using Bitcoin, instead of Liquid?
- When I create a wallet, then tried to restore it, I was very confused. You see, when I first wrote down the seed words, you have them in this order:
1 2
3 4
5 6
7 8
9 10
11 12
I was expecting it to be like this
1 7
2 8
3 9
4 10
5 11
6 12
...And I actually numbered and wrote it down that way. Then when restoring, I saw it was different, and had to fix up my seed word list, because it was in the wrong order. I'm guessing that MOST people would expect it to be the way I thought it would be.

You may want to be more explicit about the password, in terms of what it actually is. I wasn't sure if it was like a bitcoin passphrase (does Liquid even have that?) or it was just a password for that instance of Helm Wallet. It turns out it's for the later, because you can restore from one browser to another, just with the seed phrase. You may want to have more info on this.

Why is Send grayed out? Looks like I can receive, but not send?
I like the very straightforward design in general. What are your future plans for it? Is it most similar to Aqua?

Did you see "Bitcoin"? Really? It should be Liquid (for Mainnet), Testnet and Regtest. Remember, Helm is a Liquid wallet, mainnet for it is Liquid, not Bitcoin.
reply
No, I don't have Bitcoin in the list.
I was just confused that a list like this would contain
Liquid
Testnet
Regtest
It would make more sense to me if it were
Liquid (Mainnet)
Liquid (Testnet)
Liquid (Regtest)
I guess if you know that there's a Liquid version of Mainnet, it makes sense. I didn't know that.

Hint:
- copy your mnemonic to the clipboard
- click on input #1 and then paste the entire mnemonic
- the app will understand what you're trying to achieve and will fill all the fields

I need to improve the copy, that's for sure ;)
The code is mirrored in 3 sites (github, gitlab and bitbucket) for redundancy and censorship resistance (it will also be uploaded to IPFS as soon I reach version 1).
I then deploy the app on to two different domains, again for redundancy and censorship resistance. It's the same app, if you use the same mnemonic you will have the exact same experience.
I see now it may be confusing, I will change the copy.

The password is used to encrypt your mnemonic on local storage.

If you don't have funds, what do you wanna send? ;)
I have to stop responding, stacker news is now asking for 1000 sats for the next answer. I know they are anti spam features, but it doesn't make sense to me now keeping spending sats like this.
Over and out.
reply
I do have funds on it, not much, but I should be able to send. And the Send is grayed out. The receive is clickable (that's how I got the funds there).
reply
Maybe I can't send if it's under 1000 sats? It's just under.
reply
Yeah, I think that's it. I sent in some more to get it above 1000, and was able to send out.
I'd suggest that you make the send button clickable, but then when someone clicks on it, tell them that they need to have more than 1000 sats to send.
Otherwise, it's confusing, you don't know why you can't send.
