JAS is now on Substack

Follow JAS on Substack for practical notes on design, connected systems, AI and the decisions behind the work.

A new place for the thinking behind the work

We’ve opened JAS on Substack: a publication for the ideas, decisions and practical lessons that come out of designing and building digital products.

Our work connects websites, mobile apps, data and the platforms behind business operations. Each project brings useful questions about how people work, how systems fit together and what a sensible next step looks like. Substack gives us a place to explore those questions in more depth.

What we’ll be sharing

The publication is for people running businesses, developing products and making decisions about technology. We’ll share practical guides, project perspectives and ideas taking shape across JAS.

  • Design, brand and customer journeys that make a service easier to use.
  • The detail behind connecting systems, importing data and improving workflows.
  • Useful applications of AI, with clear responsibilities and human judgement.
  • How we approach development, testing, feedback and the work after launch.

Connected to the work we do

Recent JAS insights explore how we distribute iOS apps to small test groups and how controlled development agents can support a team’s workflow. They reflect the kind of thinking we’ll build on in the publication: explain the approach, make the handovers clear and connect the technical choices to the people using the result.

Alongside our project work, we’ll draw on ideas developing through MintBios and Mintpress, bringing together practical AI implementation and systems shaped around a useful outcome.
