We didn't record and share the conversations we've had with users. Nor is this the full design process where we discussed the overall interaction design and way the product should work. This is a very specific flow, reviewing the visual and interaction design. In the process, other issues were brought up. Having built a half dozen products that all have this stage, I'm really not sure what your nitpick is about. It's a 20 minute video not showing weeks worth of other discussions.

For context: the grandparent comment by avree said "this isn't what it should look like", talking about testing designs and user needs. I'm going to keep this thread though, because nitpicks on HN annoy me.

  Yep—I deleted my comment because it seemed too nitpicky and critical of your process. My worry was since your post says "This is what design looks like", and doesn't mention the rest of the design process, it could be misinterpreted by fledgling founders looking to you for inspiration. Your parent comment did a great job of clarifying that. Maybe consider adding to the blog post that it's a "part" of design at a startup? Too many startups only do the founder/designer cycle, and never get designs or wireframes in front of users. Also, not sure why you felt the need to link to my Twitter... but thanks, I guess?

    Real names help keep people honest :) You're totally right. People reading this should know that there is a lot more than what we're showing.

      Dangerously close to DOXing there, buddy. There's a reason why HN has handles and not real names. EDIT: Thank you, ivankirigan—much appreciate the switch to my handle.

        Your employers were in your hacker news profile, but I see you wiped that. I apologize if I made you feel uncomfortable.
