Better Interfaces, Better Products

Gaby Goldberg argues that interfaces shape products and behavior, so better interfaces can produce better products in return, with better outputs leading to better inputs. She points to TikTok's fifteen-second format, which pushed short-form entertainment forward, and to NFT wallets that display NFTs as square images, a choice she says led most 2021/22 NFT projects to be collections of squares. She proposes that block explorers, which she says present information with bias, should make on-chain messages readable, and cites Dune Analytics' homepage, which updated to trending dashboards on June 13, 2022, the day Celsius halted withdrawals.
