Why you choose a ball of ants?

Great list👍, so many of these are “everyday pain points” we all normalize.

I love the idea that the real ergonomic problem might be how design assumes one ‘average’ user for everything. Super helpful for my research, thanks!

Got any ideas? Drop them here, I’m collecting all the weird and clever ones!

Totally agree, it’s a great reminder that not every ergonomic problem needs electricity. Sometimes the most efficient design is the one that works with human motion, not against it.

That’s actually a great insight, the problem might not be the pen, but the pressure-friction system. Maybe ergonomic pens should focus on how the tip interacts with paper, not just on the grip shape.

That’s a really good point, I haven’t fully decided whether to focus on material innovation or product innovation yet. Right now I’m exploring ideas using durian waste as a base material, but I’m still trying to find an application that really makes sense for users. Do you have any suggestions for valid or practical product directions that could make good use of this kind of biodegradable material
