Importance of UX in Early Stages

UX is EVERYTHING, especially in the early stages. A clunky user interface can kill even the best ideas. Invest in basic UX principles; things like user flow, simplicity, and feedback loops. Sketch, Figma, and Adobe XD are great tools for this. Seriously, bad UX = lost users.

This newfangled UX stuff is important, huh? Makes sense, I suppose. Back in my day, it was all about the product specs.

Back this up with data. Use tools like Google Analytics, Mixpanel, or Heap to track user behavior. Don't guess what users want; measure it.

I'm really struggling with getting the user flow right. Any recommended resources for learning the basics of UX design? I've heard mixed reviews about different courses and books.

Eh, just another buzzword. Did Steve Jobs worry about this stuff? Build something that works, focus on UX later if you have time.

Simplicity is key. No one wants to spend more time than necessary figuring out how to use something. If it takes more than 5 seconds to understand, it's too complicated.

Totally agree. Seen too many good concepts fail because the UX sucked. Hotjar is another good tool for seeing where users struggle. Don't skimp on this, it's worth every penny.

Absolutely. 👏 A smooth user experience can make or break a product. Too many startups underestimate this. Tools like Figma are a game-changer for quick prototyping and user testing.
