Why Wallets Excite Me Again
My first stab at an Ethereum wallet was in 2014. I collaborated with Gavin Wood and Alex Van Der Sande to imagine what a dapp browser, dapp store, network monitor, and wallet might look like.https://dribbble.com/shots/2175361-Ethereum-App-StoreIn 2017 I pivoted my little company, Balance, from fintech back to Ethereum when I watched $ETH increased 1000x in value. We focused on the wallet problem again and made huge progress. Balance pushed out beautiful web interfaces, the WalletConnect stand...

We are working incredibly hard to bring you a wonderful Ethereum wallet for iPhone. Personally, I have been deeply involved in the Apple Developer Community for around 10 years and the Ethereum Community for 5 years. I really care about the overlap between the Apple and Ethereum ecosystem. There is a magical product lurking in the future: iOS (iPhone Operating System) : EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) Swift programming language : Solidity programming language Apple cares about privacy : Ethere...

Political Computing 🗳
Computing comes in waves. Each new technological breakthrough is a combination of the personal, electrical, mechanical, physical & material. Human neurons fire so that silicon circuits can twitch to life. Our biological brains create technological tools. We augment ourselves with our devices.Imagine what he imaginedThe impact of these tools keeps expanding.

The news of Quill’s acquisition is bittersweet for me. On the one hand, I am over the moon for my friend, Ludwig Pettersson. On the other hand, I am sad to lose a tool that I love.
Quill was the most thoughtful approach to online communication I have ever seen. It built on the innovations of Slack, Skype, Discord & Zoom in a wonderful way. It moved us forward.
The community I work with is—quite frankly—devastated at its loss. Here’s why:
The way conversations flowed on Quill felt better than Slack or Discord. It was like I could access more complicated thoughts because of the threading and grouping.
Activity tab was a game changer: it summarised everything I needed to read.

Slack’s repetitive notification sound sends shivers down my spine. Quill’s was infrequent and powerful—it meant something to me. I wanted to check it and always found something important.

Ludwig’s time at OpenAI was on full display in the product. Quill used their technology to intelligently summarise and title conversations to great effect. A magical touch ✨

Quill was not trying to get your attention; it was trying to give it back to you. Every single feature was designed to help you learn, discuss, decide and then get back to work.

Go to their website and drink it in before it is removed forever. Just look at the incredible quality of the product design, copywriting and application presentation.

The shear volume of features present across web, macOS, iOS & Android applications was stunning. The team were clearly firing on all cylinders creatively.

Sliding from text-based chat into voice-based discussion or video-based debate was easy. Quill blended the best modern web technologies together to make communication clearer.

The team behind this software touched my heart and helped my community get started. I will always be grateful to them.
