Urbit is a groundbreaking peer-to-peer OS and network that empowers users with complete ownership and control of their digital experience. Designed to replace centralized platforms, Urbit offers a decentralized and user-friendly interface for communication, collaboration, and community building.

Working with dcSpark, I led the design and development of three key browser extensions that enhanced Urbit’s functionality and usability:

Urbit Visor: Transforms web browsers into fully integrated Urbit clients, bridging traditional web tools with Urbit’s decentralized functionality.

Twitter UV: Integrates Twitter seamlessly into Urbit, enabling users to archive threads and share tweets directly within their Urbit environment.

Urbit Dashboard: Offers a user-friendly interface for managing and editing Urbit-hosted data, streamlining data organization.

Project Highlights:

User Growth: Boosted ecosystem adoption with 5,000+ active installs across apps.

Seamless Integration: Connected decentralized Urbit technology with widely used platforms like Twitter.

Enhanced Productivity: Streamlined workflows and improved usability for users within Urbit’s ecosystem.

Client Benefits:

Increased Adoption: Simplified access to Urbit’s features, driving user engagement and platform growth.

Improved Usability: Enhanced user experience through intuitive tools that empower decentralized workflows.

Broader Ecosystem Reach: Enabled easy integration of Urbit tools with familiar web interfaces.

As part of dcSpark’s team, I led the design and usability efforts to ensure these tools were intuitive and impactful, bridging cutting-edge decentralized technology with user-friendly design.
