 Stop the Notifications, Chatbots Round-up, the new MacBooks and more UX links this weekWhat's hot in UX:
Stop the Spammy Notifications →Notifications weren't always so spammy. I remember a time when notifications were timely, relevant, and useful. My weather app would tell me when it's about to rain. My sports app would tell me when the Giants game is starting. I wanted to know about these events, and I loved that my apps notified me. But over time, the rules changed. Companies became fixated on Daily Active Users. Adoption Rate. User Retention. At some point, humans just became numbers on a dashboard. We need to remind companies that we're more than metrics. Reducing Visual Noise for a Better UX →We understood that our profile page had become difficult to scan, but we weren't sure why… The Evolution of Email Design →Email, like Winona Ryder, was born in 1971. And both are currently enjoying a midlife revival of sorts. Chatbots Round-up #2: Best Bots of the Month →Chatbots keep trending — and at this point we've all heard of, thought about or even prototyped and launched one. Let's look at some of the best chatbots experiences we found this month. Design Is Never Done →Design is the art of continuous problem solving — an active cycle of investigating and validating needs, crafting and developing ideas, and creating solutions. Designers Who Code For Real Learn For Real →If you're anything like me, at some point in your design career you've asked yourself 'should i learn to code'. Oh, well. Headlines & Resources
Conversation with Nir Eyal💬 Today we have Nir Eyal, author of the book "Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products", talking to the UX Bear (Adrian Zumbrunnen). Shall we invite him to the conversation? → User Testing vs. Usability Testing: the Mix-up →User testing and Usability testing are different things. Not only do they have different goals, but these two processes happen at totally separate times in the design process. Expose UX: a Reality Show Focused on User Experience →Expose UX is a YouTube show where product designers go on stage to present to a number of specialists how their product works. Shark Tank style. The Fundamentals of Storytelling in UX →When was the last time you visited a website and really felt drawn into their story and brand? Hey Designer, You're Not an Artist: 9 tips to Becoming a Designer who Means Business →I've been there. You've been there. And we've all probably seen our peers falter in this same way at some point. Here's the problem: too many designers don't think like business people. Microinteractions UX Design: Small Things That Make a Huge Difference →Insignificant moments which are negligible on their own, but they add up to make huge impacts on the user's mood and opinion.
