UX Audit: MetaMask Main Navigation

a UX audit about rethinking metamask menus — Making software—especially on the blockchain—that is both powerful and usable is very hard, I know. And sometimes we plan a lot of our UI but new features get added, some changes are done in the implementation and while we have ideas on how to improve that, they get pushed to…
