24 alternatives to UI Critic by Usercall

Many UI issues I’ve seen aren’t visual problems but unchecked assumptions about users. I built a small tool that takes a UI screenshot and makes those assumptions explicit, along with the risk of being wrong. It’s meant as a quick design pre-mortem or critique before shipping. Would love feedback on whether this way of critiquing UI is actually useful.

    When I started my career and built my first design system, I was beyond excited. It took a lot of iterations, learning and 6 months of work to launch it internally. In the next job, I did it again, then at the following job, again… And no matter which company I worked for, 80% of the design system was the same. I’ve decided to work full-time on the design system I’ve always wanted, and today I’m launching and open-sourcing it. You can use it to build Next.js apps faster, and I’ve designed it in a way that it’s hard to go wrong with it: you can choose any settings, and you’ll end up with a…

    Hi HN, As PMs (Google, Gopuff, Shiji), my cofounder and I ran hundreds of user tests over the years. And every time it felt broken: It could take 2–5 days just to get enough usable results We spent hours watching recordings to extract a handful of insights “Professional testers” rushed through tasks for pay, creating biased feedback Platforms often started at €10k+ per year, with hidden fees on top The result: slow iteration cycles, unreliable feedback, and user testing that often felt like a tax rather than a tool. We started asking: what if AI could help? Could synthetic users replicate…

    I made this because building UIs in a lexical medium like code is super annoying. I have to pre-render what I’m making in my head, and then jump between the browser and IDE to test. I was inspired by the developer console in chrome and safari since I end up editing css there because it’s ironically more convenient. Hope it’s useful!

    Hello. This year I dived into UI/UX area and at the same time I work as a web developer. I sincerely love making good UI. But at my full time job it's not always possible due to different reasons =\ So I've been posting random UI/UX staff on Twitter, then I made a free book that had 50 tips (posted it here as well). I decided to finish this year by collecting everything I learned and here it is: https://akcium.gumroad.com/l/ui-ux-tips. This time it's a paid one. But, you can check ~20 pages of it, just go to…
