01:46 Intro - Welcome back! It’s episode 29 of Internet Explorers and today we’ve got 0xDesigner on the show for his first ever recorded interview
06:05 Let’s bring 0xDesigner up for a long overdue appearance on the show, and after being at FarCon he’s decided to dox his voice today, which we’re excited about
08:47 Reflecting on the process of putting out a design every day for nearly the last 500 days as the milestone is approaching in June 2024
11:22 There are two different confounding factors when it comes to looking at the state of UX in crypto today
14:18 Part of the problem with crypto is that we’re always circling around one meta at a time like ants around a speaker listening to Thunderstruck
17:00 Interoperability is the most interesting thing crypto does from a product experience standpoint
19:03 A legendary designer named Don Norman, who coined the phrase User Experience, came up with 3 levels of design - visceral, behavioral and reflective
23:17 We see strong brand identity at the chain level - spending your time on Solana means one thing vs spending your time on Ethereum
27:20 Looking at Zora’s brand and identity as a case study for appealing to creatives and non-crypto communities
30:57 0xDesigner wants to hear Jess’s updated take on ‘everything apps’ vs ‘bundled apps’ before he shares his own thoughts
34:08 Continued discussion on bundled apps and the thought that everything we’re doing right now in crypto works better when bundled together
39:04 Summing up our discussion, a special thank you to 0xDesigner for joining us, we want to bring him back on the show again soon
40:50 Another edition of WTFIPDOC - we look at Roam - an onchain social browser, a text based game where you start with no arms and legs, and Sound Capsules by @sweetman
48:49 Jumping ahead to talk about WorldPVP a new game built on the memecoin meta where theres a token for each country and they battle each other for victory
54:47 Next up, Delphi released a new report essentially running through the state of attention markets in Web2 with ads and now in Web3 with tokens and memecoins
59:40 Briefly touching on the state of Ethereum as a community and as a brand and addressing recent criticism of its future and becoming less cool
01:01:34 We have time for one lightning round and it’s Peace reading a ridiculous tweet by @cryptocred aloud for our enjoyment
01:02:53 Thanks again to @0xDesigner for joining us and to everyone that tuned in, we’ll be back next Friday 11AM PST / 1PM EST, until then we’ll see ya onchain
