Design meeting June 29th

Topics to review Notes from meeting Site Settings & Admin Capabilities I presented the work on site settings. We agreed that giving admins more in-place control — site identity (logo, cover image), navigation, member list management, etc. — is the right direction. Based on this, I'll prioritize the create site flow next, since it will help clarify and define the site settings more concretely. Look and Feel We raised a question about our Seed's current look and feel, which increasingly resembles a "site." We need to confirm whether this is the direction we want to keep pursuing, if yes we need to optimize it, ie: adding the option to add a hero cover on the homepage with an intro. Site Settings User Story We discussed the site settings user story in detail — specifically what fields and options an admin should define when creating or managing a site. Product Alignment A key takeaway was the need for more internal alignment on what our product actually does and who it's for. There's a risk that our current, more philosophical view of the product doesn't fully match real user needs. To address this, I'm working on a Product Definition WIP to help ground the team. Next Steps Getting this internal alignment and a clear product foundation is essential so the whole team can move in the same direction.

What about Join button (remove and just prompt when user wants to comment?) - not sure how much value it adds
