image Two of the calls this week dive into planning UX research sprints and interviews, and time-based recovery. Join us. Thanks to Mo and Michael for organizing. Here are the respective issues, if you'd like to dig in a bit. Generally, the best way to stay up-to-date with calls is the calendar. And if you missed one, you can catch up on the 'tube. https://www.youtube.com/c/BitcoinDesign
The Creative Freedom Summit is a free online conference about open-source design tools, happening next week on Jan 23-25. Right up our alley. Organized by Fedora.

How might we interact with covenants in the future? A new design challenge, added by @npub1yevr...qrkl.
We recently launched the Bitcoin Design Foundation to support designers and design work in the open-source bitcoin ecosystem. If this sounds interesting to you, reach out.
Stacker News now has a new design territory.
The latest newsletter is out. We're kicking off 2024 with calls on covenants, time-based recovery using miniscript, research sprints, a design huddle, and a review call with @Resolvr_app. Lots of other interesting bits of activity in the community in the newsletter. Check it out and let us know how you like it.
image We have 2 calls coming up. In the huddle, we'll loosely collaborate on designs together hands-on. In the learning call, we'll try to make sense of covenants. More info in the issues (, ). Join us. In many of our calls, we look at and discuss designs. The huddle format is about having calls where we get our hands dirty and create. Anyone can suggest a design to work on. The covenant exploration came out of interest in the topic and general confusion about what covenants actually are. Maybe we can demystify together.
The new "time-based recovery" page just went live. It's about designing a miniscript-based feature for recovering your multikey wallet, even if you lose lots of keys and backups. Great work by @Michael. Many things can be done with Miniscript. It's more of a general toolbox. So it's up to us to identify good uses of the technology and build help products and features of it. An emergency recovery option is one of them, and can be a life saver in certain situations. This new page is a sub-page to the savings wallet reference design. Over the next months, we will make more updates to this set of pages as we flesh out more miniscript based features, and multikey UX in general. This functionality is quite complex, so we're thinking of organizing a reading/learning/discussion session on the page in the new year. Would you be interested? We'd also love to hear from projects that work in this area for possible collaboration.
