It’s Easy To Create A Good-Looking Product, But How About A Useful One?
summary
Clear checklist: do research before coding (define scope, recruit real users, use support tickets), run a focused heuristic evaluation using the 10 usability heuristics (visibility, consistency, error prevention, recognition, undo, help), prioritize fixes that reduce mistakes not slips, and test both first‑time and power users. Practical examples include using Coursera‑style field hints and Hashnode’s support feedback loop; aim for aesthetic minimalism, clear error recovery, and a short findings summary for the team.
