This seemed like one of the most useful videos in the series. Katie gave a lot of good general feedback. I could do more to map out my user journey.

Many designers look to established brands like Apple with complex landing pages, but as a startup, your focus should be on clearly communicating your value proposition to attract your first users. Urgency is key.

I think a lot of these start ups should be asking “what design problems am I creating vs solving” because a lot of these designs are creating more problems to solve rather than solving the problem they asked about. Ps. I love stripe, as a designer and a developer I gotta say their design of the more recent way to access logs and dev info is absolutely beautiful and absolutely terrible to use. Specifically the whole opening and expanding and dragging it up and down. Also it’s black and then the page bellow is white so you get like flashed when you close out. I have the hardest time remembering what buttons to press to get places and often it’s because the info could be in one place but they designed too many tabs. Often times I want or try and click on things like an id/route to go to that page which is under the thing only to slide or hide it to see the link didn’t even work so then I have to slide up again. Example an api call was made to create a discount code. It shows the new codes id. Clicking it should take me to the codes page directly. Nope. Item not found. But if you just search for it oh look there it is. So it’s very confusing and requires lots of memorizing flows opening and closing and flashing from dark to light mode often. The main problem is your api call links to the log inside. I don’t think they thought enough about the first touch point being so nested and then not providing links out from there easily. Especially when ur testing out new things and you need to do it over and over.

I like this video for how it portrays what designers actually care about. It’s not just fonts and colors. I mean those are the foundation. But it’s more about how those are used to communicate your brand, convey your message/value prop and solve problems for the user. If you ask a designer for feedback, you should expect thoughts on these topics.

Its safe to say; every product has its targeted users. If you can't relate with a product, it's either its not for you or the design team is slacking. Amino, which was the last website reviewed gave me a clue already as a Biotechnologist. I didn't have to stress to understand its core goals, unlike the two experts reviewing the site. Thumbs-up

Signoz would have better luck if they changed the hero copy. Something like this: Hook: 'All Your Logs, Metrics, and Traces in One Place.' Benefit: 'Track performance, spot issues, and resolve them faster with an open-source, cost-effective alternative to Datadog and New Relic.' CTA: 'Start for free'
