The Fedimint group continues bi-monthly calls for their work on the guardian UI. The collaboration is documented here.

We had 3 UX research calls, about Geyser Fund, the JAM UI, and Saving Satoshi.
Bolt.Fun has two tournaments coming up in early October - Legends of Lightning Vol 2 and Nostrasia. Great opportunities to explore design ideas, collaborate and learn.
The Wallet Scrutiny redesign has been live for some time and discussions are happening on next steps (contributor onboarding, community building via Nostr, etc). Join in.
The HRF bounty for the Bitcoin UI Kit Penpot port is a wrap. Thank you to all contributors. More info here.
