Lots of things in Arké are not about re-inventing the wheel, but executing well, sometimes with a bit of playfulness. For the recovery phrase, you scratch to reveal it. And there's a handy printable PDF to note it down.

With bitcoin getting so expensive, that sub unit is now much more commonly used. There’s actually a huge discussion on whether to get rid of that altogether because it can be so confusing. Tough habit to change.

We had a nice project intro session about Arké yesterday, covering the origin story, ambitions, UX and design details, and lots more. Check it out.

Via in-app purchase. The app is actually just a front for my new fashion brand.

12.02.2026 13:40 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I tried this as an experiment and find that it feels nice. My first thought, like most other wallets do, was to mask the balance (like "*****"). Thing is that this still makes you think about the balance. When you see a nice landscape instead, it feels more private and relaxing.

When you hide your balance in Arké, you see a scenic view of a Tuscan landscape.

Spent the weekend with my son on the Runway 48-hour hackathon and we came up with this goofy short-film. Was a great chance to tinker with all the latest AI video/image/sound tools. Tons of limitations still, but also very powerful (and fun).

28.03.2025 06:57 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0The Canonical team did a survey and found that most designers don't realize open-source is a thing, many of the ones that do have no idea how to get started, and many who give it a try don't get far due to the steep learning curve. Let's make that a little easier.
