User experience design for APIs
Before I left Square earlier this year, I lead our design efforts on the developer API.<p><a href="https://docs.connect.squareup.com/" rel="nofollow">https://docs.connect.squareup.com/</a><p>It was really interesting work and the team was quite committed once we found the right team.<p>People always asked what does a designer do on an API. It turns out that if the team cares, quite a lot.<p>Documentation is the obvious one but lots of other things like structuring the actual information, setting up apps, working on API explorers, look at terminology even how the endpoints are thought of and of course, how do you easiest get up and running with the API.<p>It was surprisingly interesting work from a design point of view.
