I'm participating in a clinical trial!
In this thread 🧵, I'll tell you a bit about what it's like.
(You don't have to "buckle up" or "strap in." It's not that kind of thread.)
CW: non-invasive medical procedures, needles, virus

I wish I could remember the exact nature of these conversations, and/or kept a record of every time this happened to me.
Finding hidden categories is one of my favorite parts of the job.

As a content designer/strategist, this is often the aspect I see UXers miss when tackling a problem. @brownorama has been writing about this over on LinkedIn!

Concept models are important to designing digital products, as @kimgoodwin explains here. Sadly, many product teams neglect this aspect of the design process.
So, here's the concept models chapter from my book Communicating Design, free of charge.

I think the #1 architectural mistake I see on software teams is failure to articulate the conceptual data model before building things. What are the meaningful objects, how do they relate, and what can users do with them? It’s a small investment for huge dividends.

Walnut and I are really enjoying @LulaVampiro ‘s Thousand Arrows. Fantastic historical fiction TTRPG, with some really compelling new ideas in the Powered by the Apocalypse approach.
