I find your work very impressive.

Especially the UI flow: The user doesn't need anything, no email, no login, no payment credentials. Just Metamask and that's it.

So this could be the reference design for the next generation on-boarding.

Would you guys mind to write a blog post about how you created this project + some words about the on-boarding and if other projects have a similar seamless experience (would also give the project visibility again). Thanks!

PS: Just wondering again, is the core of the great UI rather Metamask or your work?

There isn't any dedicated interactive online tool for explaining I am aware of.

The most powerful tool for collaboration and communication though is screen-sharing + your mouse cursor + your voice available in any video calling software.

This is so needed. A powerful Youtube alternative which can be setup by the mainstream.

Yes true but a missing whiteboard often leads to well executed specs and mockups.

Yes and no. You can build great working relationships in the office but also remotely. You can have really bad conflicts in the office but also remotely.

I think the difference is that once you got attached to some people from your work that the motivation to see and talk to them is one key driver to work for the company every day. This attachemnt might develop faster in an office environment.

I don't think it's about open-offices or not: Work environments just don't reflect work anymore.

There isn't any rational reason for knowledge workers to go to an office every day. Socializing and building a cult around a company might be the only reasons. But IDK if these are enough to justify an office.

There must be another solution we aren't aware of yet.

What an brilliant continuation of an iconic design. I'll will just buy this because of its case.
