Hello,
As you know, I have been an advocate for the freelancer lifestyle for the past 10 years, but there are somethings I miss about working on a team. I’ve been thinking a lot on how we could all stay independent, but work together on bigger projects.
We could assemble like the Avengers! Curious?
Have a great day!

The Kids App Market – A Strategic Overview
“Your user is not the customer. The majority of app makers will never have encountered this. Kids and parents are two completely different people with different interests, motives, incentives, and views on what quality is. To make things worse – a lot of times, your user can’t read.” Brilliant in-depth article from Björn.
How to Bulletproof Your User Onboarding

Tesla’s UX is too far ahead to make sense (now)
I need to lock the windows because my kid is playing with it in the backseat or whatever? My regular old-fashioned car: I have a button on the door armrest, I know its position and shape, I don’t need to look, I press it. Time looking away from the road: 0 seconds. On a Tesla: look at the screen, tap on the car icon, visually scan the “quick settings” page, locate the button, tap it. Time looking away from the road: I don’t know, but surely > 0 seconds. Turn the front fog lights on? Same.
“I remember at American Apparel we were discussing some project and one of the execs had an opinion that most of the people disagreed with. They were trying to convince him he was wrong and in turn sort of expected him to try to convince them. But he just said, “That’s ok. I’m OK standing alone on this one.” It was an offhand remark but I think about it a lot. The world could use more of that.”
