[Report] UX Research of genorati.com & education (Mar 2022)

Project title: https://genorati.com/ - to leverage computing, software, and great user experiences to allow anyone to mint and sell NFTs without knowing anything about crypto.

Period: Mar 1 → 31, 2022 (Vancouver)

The following list are the results obtained:

  • Continued learning NEAR Protocol via NEAR platform and various sources online.
  • Attended townhall meeting to learn more about NEAR ecosystem current and future plans
  • Competitor analysis for Genorati project (in progress) - had chance to dig in further on the websites mentioned in the last report
  • Research of Generati made me realize the UX issues in overall ecosystem, captured some of the usability issues on wallet creation, forgot password and etc. (forever in progress)
  • The same research also wanted to me dig on more “Near Certified UX Designer” course and what could an outline for UX course look like that can help UXers as well as non-UXers so they can still think UX in mind when they design etc (in progress)
  • Did some guerrilla style UX research by asking random people on blockchain industry, some terminology like minting etc to gauge how much “average Joe/Jane” knows about what we are talking here.
  • Meetings, learning, researching, documenting were some of the gist of this month.

Additional info: The journey is still amazing, there is SO MUCH to learn! Anyone who is reading this that is interested creating UX course outline and/or brainstorm with me on what I have in mind, ping me and I would love to bounce back some ideas, and pass to our community as well as show how I’m applying this type of outline on current project we work on etc.
