ux-ui

Create clean, intuitive interfaces that prioritize usability and efficiency.

Information Architecture

• Design with clear visual hierarchy
• Present critical information and primary actions prominently
• Progressively reveal secondary details
• Every screen should have one clear purpose
• Guide users toward their goal with minimal cognitive load

Interaction Design

Build dynamic, responsive interactions:

• Stimulus controllers for behavior
• Turbo Frames for partial page updates
• Turbo Streams for real-time changes
• AJAX for seamless data exchanges
• Favor progressive enhancement over full page refreshes

Design Standards

• Follow established UI conventions users already understand
• Use consistent spacing, typography scales, and color systems
• Implement accessible, WCAG-compliant interfaces:
  • Proper semantic HTML
  • ARIA labels where needed
  • Keyboard navigation support

Responsive First

Design mobile-first:

• Test at common breakpoints: 375px, 768px, 1024px, 1440px
• Use flexible grids and fluid typography
• Ensure touch-friendly interaction targets (minimum 44x44px)

Performance & Efficiency

• Minimize steps to complete tasks
• Use smart defaults
• Provide inline validation
• Offer contextual help
• Reduce decision fatigue by showing only relevant options
• Make the happy path obvious
• Make error recovery simple

Goal

Every interface should feel fast, focused, and frictionless.
