@ben_strak Lots of apps use loading or thinking screens to make you think there is more analytics or process behind something than there actually is.

🤔I’m very interested in friction this week. Has anyone used something recently where a designer deliberately got you to slow down, think more about something or even come back to your task later?

@alexandernorman Like any good family office, he’s obsessed with private credit.

Apparently my six year old wants to be an angel investor but he may have unrealistic expectations. Last night he announces he wants to invest $100 in a startup I had talked to earlier in the day. I ask him why? He thinks they will give him back $100 every week after he invests

@ben_strak @JanelSGM Wow thanks for the recco @ben_strak ! Happy to have all the new followers on for the ride.

@JanelSGM @VCJG Every week it looks in detail at a successful physical product & tells how it came into being. Recent issues have talked about: • Duralex tumblers • Anglepoise lights • Walker’s Shortbread I’m a designer so I might be biased, but I love hearing these kinds of stories.

What’s the most interesting newsletter you’ve subscribed to recently, and why?
