5 UX mistakes I see in almost every early-stage startup app:
1. Onboarding asks for too much before showing value Users need to feel the product before they commit to filling forms. Show the magic first.
2. Navigation built for the developer, not the user Just because the backend is structured a certain way doesn't mean the menu should be.
3. Empty states are completely ignored The first time a user opens a feature and sees nothing that moment either builds trust or loses them forever.
4. Too many actions on one screen Every extra button is a decision. Decisions create friction. Friction kills conversions.
5.No visual hierarchy on the most important screen If everything looks equally important, nothing is important.
Most of these take less than a day to fix once you know they're there.
That's exactly what my UX Audit covers — interested? Link in profile.
