This wiki is home to user research and UX roadmap documents for the IPFS ecosystem of open-source projects for the distributed web. This research, by necessity, will need to understand how end users see and understand IPFS as part of current and future networking systems. So, it will likely touch on questions of distributed versus centralized networks generally, and all the modules and tools in the IPFS neighborhood, such as libp2p, Multiformats, IPNS, and IPLD.
Our team is follows user-centered design practices as best it can. As such, we follow a hypothesis-driven design cycle, and are experimenting with ways to have this input help guide protocol-layer, highly distributed development work across the very large, open source IPFS contribution community.
We are migrating existing user research (or links to research) here so this can serve as index for that work, and adding current understandings of problem statements and user research roadmaps.
You can track our overall design research progress by viewing open issues. We archive what we learn from each usability sprint in the main branch of this repo. Any memos or reports on broader user experience research will be in there as well.
The structure and organization of this repo is based on the great open source work done at 18F and ONRR's Natural Resources Revenue Data user-centered design process.
