Your eyes have to remap a page every time you move from page to page; this remapping can lead to cognitive leaks. We can reduce these leaks when we group like items on a page, which reduces what the eye has to map. @sarah_edo #aeasea

“A large number of managers — more than 40%— fall into the distracted quadrant: those well-intentioned, highly energetic but unfocused people who confuse frenetic motion with constructive action.”

HTTP/2 server push reduces round trips to the server. It allows an HTTP/2 compliant server to push resources to the client prior to the client making the request. @scottjehl #aeasea

Users didn’t know they were waiting until we TOLD them they were waiting through the introduction of the spinner. A better experience is skeleton screens with gradual loading. @lukew #aeasea

People unlock their phones approx 80 times per day with the average session lasting 30 seconds or less. @lukew #aeasea

The average adult only uses about 1/3 of the apps on their phone. 25% of apps are abandoned after just one use and only 34% of apps are opened 11 or more times. @lukew #aeasea

“Often, where we start is not where we end up in the digital landscape.” Enter YouTube - YouTube started off as a video dating site. They changed based on the USE. @gerrymcgovern #agility #aeasea

A core metric of Agility is the ability to respond to feedback. And then, how quickly can you make that response? @gerrymcgovern #aeasea

Imagine if Google put massive carousels, sold ad space or promoted their new products on their homepage. Why do we treat our websites differently? @gerrymcgovern #aeasea

A lot of tech that is used at a mass scale was initially developed as a solution for those with disabilities. Think voice to text, autocorrect, predictive text. When we design a solution based on inclusion, we often times make it better for the masses. #inclusivedesign #aeasea

[Rachel Fourquet @RachelFourq]

When people discredit something as “an edge case,” we need to remember that WE are the edge case. We represent a small percent of the population that is technologically elite. We are the ones in control of the design, but WE are the edge case. @feather #aeasea

prefers-reduced-motion media query. Emphasis on reduce. reduce != remove. "The nuance is where our jobs get interesting." - @vlh #aeasea

[Rachel Fourquet @RachelFourq]

A mismatch of text on top of animation or a constant animation near text can trigger motion sensitivity for users. Making animations purposeful is much more than a design choice. @vlh #WCAG #aeasea
