Bitcoin Design on social media

We have Twitter and Nostr accounts for the Bitcoin Design Community at @bitcoin_design and @bitcoin.design (link only works if you have a Nostr client installed) respectively. We highlight project activity, design work and discussions from the community, announce [newsletter]({{ '/newsletter/' | relative_url }}) releases and host our community calls via Twitter Spaces.

Follow on Twitter{: .button }

Find us on Nostr via @bitcoin.design or our public key: npub13s5mxgws70rpxsug96jfvglggackjrxs2ehypwg0prjaxsek42sqd9l03e

Contribute

The accounts are currently loosely managed by Mo and Christoph. We’d love to have more contributors. If you’d like to help out, reach out in #spread-the-word.

Shout-out to our previous posters Alexa and Doc Sharp.

Format

These are our current writing guidelines for social media.

Voice, tone & writing style
  • FOR things, promote solutions, use positive language
  • Not AGAINST things, don’t use negative language
  • Inform & educate
  • High signal-to-noise ratio
  • Friendly & approachable
  • Succinct
  • Use threads with each post capturing one idea/point
Content ideas
  • Guide highlights: When new content is added to the guide, create a new thread on the additions (or re-post the authors threads - probably better)
  • Designer spotlight: Highlight a designer in the community and share a short story about them / why they like bitcoin / what they work on etc.
  • Announce calls and call recordings (learning bitcoin & design, design review, community call…)
  • Quick user research and polls for community projects
  • Respond to current design-related conversations (e.g. post a link to the Units & Symbols page if there’s a thread somewhere around unit formatting)
  • Add context to posts when re-posting them, to add value
Do
  • OK to highlight when products, services, and brands adopt strategies from the Guide, or do things that’s good for open source bitcoin or open design processes
Don't
  • Criticize projects or people (if you must, use your personal accounts)
  • Promote a specific product over others (if you must, use your personal accounts)
Good examples
  • ABC Wallet just launched a new version with an improved UI. It's a perfect example of techniques from the Onboarding section of the Guide!
  • Just wrapped up another awesome design sprint with XYZ Wallet. Thanks for being so open to collaboration with the Bitcoin Design Community!
  • Several members of the Design Community participated in this podcast about DEF Wallet to talk about Lightning backups. What do you think about this topic?
  • MNO Exchange just launched an initiative to provide grant funding to people working on open source bitcoin projects. Calling all designers!
Bad examples
  • GHI Wallet has a pretty bad UI. Shame they haven't read the Guide.
  • Gee, JKL Wallet, would it kill you to join a Design Review call?
  • PQR Wallet is the best. You should all download it now!
  • STU Wallet has a promotion going on where you can get free sats for downloading their app.
