Hello Bassem 😊, nice question you have here!

UX knowledge is important if you're willing to build your own projects with a higher quality. Even though, lately I've seen many job offers searching Frontenders who know UX & UI, I think it's already a thing in our field and a plus to have, especially if you're willing to change your job in the nearest future or expand your responsabilities.

TL;DR Knowing UX will improve your skills+quality in personal projects, make you understand better your colleagues job and maybe open more doors for you in your career!

Hey DesirΓ©,

Thanks for your comment! I totally agree πŸ’™

I always felt that UI/UX requires more "Creative" or "Artistic" talent that I do not have. But, I think its time for me to at least try it. As you said, It will help with building my own projects with higher quality.

To be really good at UI, yes you do need a artistic side but there's a lot of basic stuff that you can learn en build nice UI without the need of the artistic touch especially if you build webapp.

I highly recommend it and one day you might even spot error or better things the designer could've done
