Technically, in the web of information, UX designers are designing for the product - us. That’s what we are. Turning people into the product, at this scale, is very new. Enticing and caressing us to stay and engage with the company’s offerings, making everything so smooth, and offering every reason to share the experience with our friends... and doing this for billions of other people… The world hasn’t seen this before
This article reminded me of the times of crapy Linux UIs before Ubuntu came out and blew everyone out of the water. From the first day, they took UX seriously and drew their inspiration from macOS; the OS mainly used by geeks and non-conformists got a much broader adoption. Even my dad installed it :)
I think web3 is at a similar stage now. We don't need to reinvent the wheel to be different. We can pick decades of research and use it to bring great UIs and UXs to this space and then innovate on top.
