Taste Test
Two home screens for the same digital identity wallet, before and after the alongID brand styleguide.
The old one showed your actual credentials. You saw the card, you tapped it, done. It also showed a log of what just happened.
The new one replaced the cards with counts, 9 identities and 6 trusted connections, and moved Scan QR to the top, because scanning a code is what people open this app to do.
That is the real trade, and I still argue with myself about it. Cards you can touch, or numbers plus the primary action first.
You are opening this app for the tenth time this month. Which home screen do you want?
Vote below. I will post the reasoning behind the decision either way.

The new version does a better job of prioritizing the main job people open the app for. Scan QR is immediately visible, the hierarchy is cleaner, and the dashboard gives a quick sense of what exists in the wallet.
But the old version has one UX advantage I would not completely...
That is exactly the tension, and you named the cost correctly. It is one more step.
The reason I took it: the card row only works while the wallet is small. Once someone is carrying twenty or thirty documents, a horizontal swipe on the home screen stops being access and turns...
Cards up front look great!
Cards up front
Honestly, the cards up front just pulled me in! Even though the counts and scanner layout makes perfect sense for usability, those card visuals are just too nice.
The "tenth time this month" framing is what sells it for me. Once you think about actual usage instead of first impression, counts and QR upfront just makes sense. Curious how real users reacted when you tested it, did the numbers-first version feel cold to anyone?

New Direction, no question. Your Health At a Glance plus those cleaner cards actually invite you in, the original feels more like a dashboard you have to decode. Small choices, big impact, very fitting given the copy.
Orange vs. Blue
Two color directions. One hero section. Which one would you pick?

I dont think every SaaS should have a blue tone, orange looks very more attractive while the message also stays clear. 🙌
Which color direction feels right for this digital payment app?
While designing a full digital payment app experience, from bills overview to payment confirmation, I explored two different color systems for the entire flow. Same screens, same functionality, just a different accent palette and personality.
Option 1 - Neon Green. Bold, high-energy, and gives a sharp, fintech-forward feel throughout the journey.
Option 2 - Cyan/Blue. Cool, modern, and leans more premium and trustworthy across the whole app.
Would love your honest UX/UI take, which direction feels more trustworthy, engaging, and appropriate for a digital payment app, and why? 👇
