We’ve just added a deep dive into SeedSigner to the Bitcoin Design Guide. This case study explores how the team transformed a hobbyist text-based interface into a modern, user-friendly signing device while staying true to its stateless, DIY philosophy.

@npub1zqs…cqrs tested this for BTC Prague. Scratch-off stickers are pretty cheap, the problem is that it turned out to be pretty tedious to scratch the whole QR code area. Unlike other uses, where you just need to clear a number, you need to be very thorough so the QR code can be scanned properly.
We also toyed with other ideas, like crossing out the QR code after scan, or adding your signature, or using an origami-like folding technique where the QR code is initially not visible. Could be fun to explore this further.

We put together a program for a self-guided 4-week Bitcoin & Design Learning Bootcamp. We created it for Summer of Bitcoin, but decided to also make it publicly available for anyone interested in a more guided learning experience.
https://bitcoin.design/guide/resources/learning-bootcamp/
Every week includes reading material and a challenge, starting with the basics and then moving to more and more advanced topics.
It's new, so it can probably be improved. Let us know what feedback you have. Thanks in advance.
