Do you spend too much time on your phone? I certainly do

I'm building a mobile app to help us spend less time on our phones and I'm looking for volunteers for some user research calls. Please drop me a message if you're willing to help.

It will help towards building a low cost solution that's accessible to all #digitaldetox #doomscrooling #userresearch #mastodaoine

Five usability- and design sites I use:

1. Discount software-design method:

2. UK's methods and patterns:

3. Nielsen Norman Group's posts about user research and design:

4. MeasuringU's posts about research statistics:

5. USA's definitions and resources:

This week, at the project retrospective, none of us identified any big issues. It reflects the good job we did as a team.

Last week, at the presentation of user research findings and recommendations, the customer team showed enthusiasm. Their team lead said he had read my draft UR report multiple times.

That's one way to flatter me.

Another is to implement my recommendations and then retest the usability.

A new product.

The client wonders: is the interaction paradigm too hard for the intended customers?

They test it—on colleagues—who "confirm" the design works.

Later, in the hands of actual target users, the interaction paradigm fails. (SUS usability was 20 ±15 points, and learnability was 17 ±15 points—the lowest #usability and #learnability scores I've ever calculated.)

The lesson: recruit the right participants for #UserResearch.
