Dad, startup guy. Ideas matter. Design matters. It's about we, not me.

"Fast as gas" charging.
Pull your EV up to the "pump." Plug in. Go into the "gas" station to buy a sparkling water and pack of gum. Come out, unplug, and drive off at 85% charge.
Fast as gas.
Yet note how many of those scary permissions won't need to be granted to *any client apps* once there are better ways to perform such actions directly on *your trusted PDS*
... hence why improving the account experience is featured so prominently on the protocol roadmap

In the quoted 🧵, all sides of the debate are correct:
- @hmans.dev rightly balks at granting so many up-front permissions to an app he doesn't yet know to trust
- @mu.social folks accurately note that the app they forked uses those same permissions -- but silently due to missing OAuth flows
Given the nearly trivial setup burden for any app with an existing AT account, it's no accident that despite zero marketing + a domain that's less than a week old, she's already had several dozen creators spin up boards of their own

As MVPs go, this is the way
BYD is hiring to build its 1,500 kW Flash Charging network in Canada - 5-minute EV charging that works at -20C, a North American first.

A timely demonstration of the design pressure to improve account management UX at the PDS level
Both bsky.app + mu.social currently need the same permissions, but by supporting OAuth earlier, the fork highlights the security implications of blurring whether the app or the PDS manages your account
The latest #AtmosphericUX from @brookie.blog, who again shows how far a designer can get by:
1. identifying a common problem,
2. describing it using minimal lexicons, +
3. shipping a tidy UX to solve it
In this case, a simple board for capturing, filtering, + making decisions from user feedback
"If UI looks good, that means developers had time to polish it, which means that they probably spent a comparable amount of time to iron out the code.
It’s a heuristic, but a reasonable one." -- @tonsky.me
