Better description is definitely needed. What is a ā€œconscientious creativeā€? It sounds like an oxymoron. Being backed by Airbnb helps. I mean... Didnā€™t you guys learn from Pied Piper? If you need a consumer study to explain that the product is. Something needs to change. āœ‹

@dredurr this was made by the Airbnb User Research team & News Deeply so I don't have any inside knowledge of the branding. BUT, if I was to guess (from reading the articles/product intro) - they've deliberately made it vague so people can self-identify. Everyone is creative in their work - and conscientiousness is something will identify with individually. At a guess šŸ™„

@jason_crabtree_ A product thatā€™s purposely vague... I donā€™t get it šŸ˜. I give up! If you cannot clearly deliver the message to a first time user in 8 seconds. Then you have lost not only that user but whoever that user has told about the crappy experience as well. Not Dope šŸ‘Žto leave users in Limbo. Iā€™m hoping someone from the @airbnb team can jump in on this. Awesome Hunt Jason. Nothing against you at all šŸ¤—

I didn't get why this is in the top of PH today?

Another Lens is an open source design tool created by Airbnb and News Deeply, a journalism startup. I love the authenticity of the tool and believe resources like this are essential for anyone building products for other people.

This is amazing. I saw this first in Designer Hangout about 2 months ago. Thank you for making this.

I loved it.

Will apply it to my daily work.

Pros:

It motivates us to self-exam by asking limited but important questions.

Cons:

The logic between every question is a little unconvincing. It can offers some helps but is hard to be an authoritative guide to me.
