If it looks better, it works better
summary
Panelists argue that prettier interfaces actually bring users and feedback — citing Thunderhub and Amboss tools — but warn that visual polish alone hides risks like custodial defaults and silent coin selection. They announce building an LSP service (with plans to open-source rlsp), cite BDK/LDK and descriptor wallets as portability fixes, name Breeze, Umbrel and LNbits as examples, and flag mobile always-online, migration of state, and terminology as engineering problems. Community coordination lives at bitcoin.design with ~2,000 contributors.
