UX is being ignored.
Sharing one UX concept a day so we remember why it matters.
In gamification, replay or do-over gives users the chance to try again. This reduces frustration and turns mistakes into learning opportunities. Instead of feeling punished, users feel encouraged to improve.
For example, in a screen time management app, if users exceed their limit, they should be able to review their usage and set a new goal. That second attempt builds confidence and keeps them engaged.
Pro tip: Always design failure states as opportunities to retry, not dead ends.

You don't need a redesign. You need Activation.
Most founders think UX is about "look and feel." At the early stage, it's actually about traction.
Two places where a design lens actually moves the needle:
→ Discovery: Understanding the "why" so your PMF is clear.
→ Activation: Ensuring those first 180 seconds in the product deliver immediate value.
It’s not about aesthetics; it’s about making the product work for the people you’re trying to convert.
Completely agree. Early-stage UX isn’t about polish — it’s about reducing friction to first value. Activation is the real design metric.
UX Design Career Simulator is a concept born out of curiosity -exploring what really shapes a designer’s growth beyond just screens.
It dives into the messy, real-world decisions behind product work, where strategy, trade-offs, and judgment matter just as much as visuals.
An experimental space to think deeper, question assumptions, and design with intention.

Most designers focus on how it looks.
The best designers obsess over how it feels.
I've seen stunning interfaces users abandon in 10 seconds.
I've seen simple designs users can't stop coming back to.
The difference was never the visuals.
It was the feeling.
Nobody remembers the color palette.
They remember whether your product felt effortless or frustrating.
That's what great UX actually is.
