Welcome to my hypertext notebook. I've found hypertext as a medium to be incredibly liberating, and come with unique affordances. See [[Writing in hypertext]] for a primer on how to best consume this website. Currently, I'm building WebSim, a platform for creating and sharing web apps, games, and other interactive experiences. You can follow my progress by subscribing to my newsletter.
The majority of this website was written while I was working as a behavioral product strategy and gamification consultant, and has seen minimal updates since then. It discusses topics such as:
- My personal journey
- [[Why I chose to consult rather than pursue a PhD]]
- [[Hyper learning]]
- [[Bio]]
- [[Publications]]
- How I tend to work with clients
- [[How we can work together]]
- [[Use a badging system as a method of actionable user research]]
- [[Designing for failure states in Fabriq]]
- [[Behavioral Product Strategy]]
- [[User Involvement]]
- A demo for a simple LLM-powered Tool for Thought that uses behavioral product strategy to facilitate goal accomplishment faster for less user involvement
- [[Designing for user involvement has positive effects on adoption, retention, and virality]]
- [[Continuous onboarding]]
- Onboarding
- [[The hard problem of onboarding horizontal products]]
- [[GuidedTrack]] (case study)
- [[Feedback loops are a more efficient method of communication]]
- Gamification
- [[Intentionally design for failure states]]
- [[Difficulty Matching]]
- [[Most gamification sucks]]
- End-user Programming
- [[Domain-specific languages as end-user software]]
- [[End-user scripting enables creative workarounds]]
- A DSL for a discourse graph with information entry, visualization, and retrieval (on my other hypertext notebook, Scaling Synthesis)
