Bitcoin design guide 🗺️
Sprint #2 is wrapped up with 14 tasks closed. 2 new pages are live (Getting to know your users and Transactions overview), various improvements, new images, etc.
Sprint #3 is kicking off. 8 new pages in various states of progress, and many minor polishes happening, from copy to visuals to technical.
Design principles are critical for the community and product designers to have alignment… we’re also looking for help creating visuals for that page.
As the guide is growing, reviewing content is becoming more important. That means your personal feedback. What’s helpful to you, what could be better? Please tell us in the #bitcoin-design-guide channel in slack.
Maggie is looking for readability feedback for the Onboarding section here.
