Digital Ocean provides a fast and visually appealing signup process that leads new users smoothly through account creation and initial setup of a droplet instance. The interface utilizes consistent design principles and user experience best practices to simplify the onboarding process. While most of the user flow is seamless, there is one disruption where users must agree to terms and conditions. Overall, the signup and initial setup takes under five minutes to complete and immerses new users in Digital Ocean's products and platform.

Ilya Kuzovkin - Adaptive Interactive Learning for Brain-Computer InterfacesIlya Kuzovkin
This is a brief description of the approach and algorithm I proposed in my master's thesis. The core algorithm keeps track of both user's and computer's progress and gives them valuable feedback.

This set of slides goes over the recent article that tries to tie together the idea of predictive coding and deep learning. The main point of the article is that a generative system trained on sequential data to predict the future samples learns more "useful" representation than the usual autoencoder. The result resonates with the fact that our brain is probably using predictive mechanisms.

Article overview: Deep Neural Networks Reveal a Gradient in the Complexity of...Ilya Kuzovkin
The article presents the comparison of the complexity of the representation of visual features in the deep convolutional neural network and in our brain. DNN activity layer-by-layer is used to predict voxel activations and it is shown that lower layers of DNN are better at predicting V1,V2 and that higher layers of DNN are better in predicting activity in LO and higher areas of ventral stream. The result effectively demonstrates that layer-by-layer complexity of visual features we see in DNN is also present in the visual cortex.
The presentation is given during the Computer Graphics seminar at the University of Tartu. It is an introductory overview of the GPGPU idea in general and gives "hello world" examples using old-school shader computing, OpenCL and CUDA. The code is available in my <a>Github repository</a>.
The buyer experience is moving towards the smartphone and your webpages aren’t ready for the shift
On a traditional landing page, all of the information loads in one go. The text, CTA, images all appear pretty much at the same time on a page where buyers scroll to see the information. This isn’t much of an issue on desktops because you have a lot of screen space to work with so you can present all the information in a user-friendly way.
On mobile screens, however, the situation is worse.
This means that if your mobile landing pages are unengaging most of those mobile visitors landing on your page are going to drop before giving you their contact info. Or in other words, all the time, effort and most importantly money that you are sinking into your marketing campaigns, is getting wasted
Pretty bleak huh?勞
Well, guess what! It doesn’t have to be the case
Conversational landing pages are the solution!
On the screen, your customers will see an interface that looks and feels a lot like the messaging apps they use to speak with their friends and family on a daily basis. On this webinar, we will show you why moving towards chatbots/conversational landing pages is important for your next-gen mobile marketing.

1. Digital Ocean:
New User Onboarding
Digital Ocean has one of the fastest and visually appealing signups in the
industry, lead by consistent design and UX best practices. They know their
customer, and they make the appropriate sacrifices to make it simple
Other than a single (but very disruptive) cul-de-sac in the User Flow, this is
a great experience.
3. Succinct messaging,
strong promise.
Speaking specifically to a
part of a the market. No
identity crisis here.But you havent told me
anything yet, why would I
sign up now? Only catering
to the pre-sold customer.
On-brand icons that reinforce the
messaging. Bonus animations on
hover, which help slow you down
and pay attention.
4. Succinct messaging,
strong promise.
Speaking specifically to a
part of a the market. No
identity crisis here.
Nice use of social proof. If it’s good
enough for 140k developers, it’s
awesome and you want it.
But you havent told me
anything yet, why would I
sign up now? Only catering
to the pre-sold customer.
On-brand icons that reinforce the
messaging. Bonus animations on
hover, which help slow you down
and pay attention.
5. But this one has a Terms
of Service to agree to. I’m
going back to the
homepage signup so I
can stay Above the Law.
Alternate sign-up form is just as
simple. All roads lead to a low-
friction signup.
6. Speaking of Terms of Service, there have been many attempts
at simplifying the dreaded TOS, but this is stellar. Voice & tone
keeps the interpreted legalese readable and skimmable.
!
As an end-user, I hope every company on the planet steals this
approach.

8. Great use of color for
focus. Clear call to action
on first step…
Excellent, a reward already. By calling out “Logged
in!”, it (1) Reinforces that you are now in your
account, and (2) illustrates the area where status &
alert messages will be shown.
…and clean layout illustrating following
steps for a successful onboarding. I
know What I have to do, and it feels
quick and easy.
Missed opportunity to continue
the DO Voice/tone in a short
welcome message.
12. After some clicking around, went
back to the welcome screen, but no
acknowledgment that email address
confirmed.
Im going to click it again and hope
the same action has a different
outcome this time.
Recommendation: If confirming the
email is a necessary step, proactively
represent it in the interface - either as
part of the steps, or in the status bar
area (“Email address still not
confirmed. Resend confirmation”)
13. Now we’re back in
business.
Very nice color emphasis
on the form & call to
action. I know exactly
what I should be doing
and which DO prefers
(compared to Paypal
below).
14. Instant on-click color &
in-line messaging
change on button to
confirm something is
happening.
16. In-line helper text can be
great, but only if it’s more
helpful than the field
label.
!
Unsure what problem is
being solved with this
callout.
17. In-line form validation
and feedback, like it
should be.
Pre-population of
selected state (blue).
Hrm, what’s the
difference between grey
and white backgrounds?
18. The helper text has found
it’s true calling. That’s
much, much better.
19. Progressive disclosure to
avoid overloading the
interface with distros you
dont care about.
Flags introduce a nice
visual element in a
previously text-heavy
screen. Showing
available and unavailable
options nicely reinforce
Digital Ocean’s
infrastructure footprint. While this city list will
break with the addition of
cities, it should easily
transitioned to the Image
selection style below and
scale very nicely.
Interesting choice to offer
price-impacting
upgrades, in a checkbox
at the end of the page,
without summarizing final
cost.
!
Not necessarily a bad
thing, but a curious
choice in an otherwise
transparent pricing..
Cant miss this big green
button. Screams, “Let’s
do this!”
20. By reminding the user that it will only take 60s (wait, you
promised 55s earlier!), better chance they will remain focused
on immediately configuring the droplet and putting it to use.
!
The animation, though inaccurate, keep the user engaged.
While they wait, this is a great spot to get them to input
additional account information.
• Should anyone else have access to this account?
• [ enter email ] Invite
• What is your
!
Or even a place to extend the DO Voice & Tone.
• Settle an office debate: “Who would win in a battle: A
horse sized duck or 100 duck sized horses?”
!
• Downside: If install fails , nobody will be laughing.
21. At just under 60s, initial promise
delivered!
I kind of miss my green status bar
friend, which should be confirming
successful installation and
deployment. Where’d he go?
22. • 4m 50s from home page to first deployed droplet.
• Visually appealing: Contemporary. Simple. Focused.
• Interface feels great, responsive. No interaction drags.
• In-interface, user is
• Not aimed at the comparative shopper. You’re buying the DO platform & experience, not a particular
offering.
• Interface decisions that best represent the small product line - not trying to be something they are not.
• One small but disruptive flow (setup) in an otherwise seamless setup.
• Voice & tone in marketing copy is fun and playful, but not taken too far. Functional messages were not
overdressed. (Serious face)
• “Due to high demand and capacity restrictions, we have temporarily disabled droplet creations in
this region”
• Things Digital Ocean doesn't do:
• Ask for the main company contact information. Name/address/zip/phone/contacts.
• Assumes your billing address is your main address.
• No fraud checking
• Focus on the product & experience being awesome; the admin paperwork will get handle
eventually.
