The UX of Loading states

Every week I help and coach fellow indie hackers by working together on their product's UX. With some of them we livestream our sessions for my YouTube live show called "UX sessions for indie devs".

On the last episode I worked with @mdgale on the checkout loading flow of his product.

Here is what we talked about:

๐Ÿ”ธThink offline first. Think like a human.
๐Ÿ”ธDifference between actual and perceived time
๐Ÿ”ธ The 4 response time limits
๐Ÿ”ธ Active and passive user modes
๐Ÿ”ธ Examples of active and passive modes
๐Ÿ”ธ Live user testing and feedback on Matt's Fbars app loading flow prototype
๐Ÿ”ธ The concept of Optimistic UI
๐Ÿ”ธ Live pair-design of the new loading flow
๐Ÿ”ธ How can a user understand which UI elements are clickable?

๐Ÿ‘‰ Check out the episode and let me know what you think! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIlDxDDcwwE
