🧵 Kicking off a thread documenting the design prototypes we conceptualized for Bean. You can read the whole thing in detail as we roll the work out here: prabros.com/bean/design It was fun exploring spreadsheet design with @prabhanshu.bsky.social and @neena.bsky.social for @nilenso.com

We worked closely with @nilenso.com on an open-ended design research project where we attempted to rethink the fundamentals of the spreadsheet interface. Slowly starting to document and roll out the work we did with them. Check it out! prabros.com/bean/
