RaverBuddy: Field Notes From The Build

What happens when you design for people at 2am

  • 08 Aug 2026

Every assumption we made in the studio broke on the street. Nobody types at 2am. Nobody reads. Nobody has both hands free.

  • One-thumb reach or it does not ship
  • No screen deeper than two taps
  • Legible at full brightness in fog

The current build does four things and refuses the fifth. That refusal is the product.
