HUNTER SHAPIRO

I studied psychology and computer science because I care about both sides of technology: the people using it, and the systems being built.

The
toolkit.

Grouped, and pointed at the projects that actually use them. A tool with nothing next to it is one I have used, but not on anything published here.

Both
sides.

People bring expectations, habits and goals to technology. Software brings structure, possibility and constraints. I am interested in where those meet.

Psychology How people learn, make sense of choices, and form expectations around an experience.

Questions I keep coming back to

Mahou Learning sits inside this question: the difference between a lesson someone finishes and one they come back to.

I am interested in the exact moment a system stops feeling arbitrary and starts making sense, and in what an interface did to get someone there.

A question about technology, behaviour, and responsibility, and about who is expected to do the adapting.

Plenty of interfaces work. Fewer of them tell you what just happened, what will happen next, and what to do if you were wrong.

The
archive.

Earlier versions, kept rather than deleted. Each screenshot is a render of that actual commit.

If you are thinking about people, technology, or a project where the two meet, I would love to hear from you.
