UX/Product Designers in the UK 🇬🇧

Finding a job is pretty tedious tbh:
• too many sites
• not always catered to designers
• the best roles aren't always on the big job sites

So I built a job board JUST for designers:
• pulls jobs from across the web
• shows average salaries & day rates
• updated daily

Let me know what you think ↓

[Simon Austerberry @s_austerberry]

Hey Chris. I would focus on what the user is trying to achieve and then build the UI around that.

Assuming I've understood your product correctly, the report and chat are just different ways to present data insights.

Maybe a single page with the report and a chat down the side could be enough, rather than two separate tabs.

I drop in my files, see my generated report and I can then ask questions about the data using chat all from one screen.

@Chris_Wozniczek @yannick_ferire Congrats on hitting 100! 🎉

@evilrabbit_ I can share my portfolio, but it's 3 years out of date and has no work to show 😂 https://t.co/oi4lF9BrhZ

[Simon Austerberry @s_austerberry]

@eykarlo Yeah there's no need to be spreading hate.

For me, Sundays are a chance to chill and work on my own things.

@mscode07 I've created a job board for UX/Product designers

@MAQIB135 We're our own worst clients. The design is never good enough 😂

[Simon Austerberry @s_austerberry]

@designbyaron For me the biggest challenge for these type of tools is user testing. It's hard to simulate a real environment with a prototype unless you're working with real data.

I'm hoping AI will help with this as prototypes become more realistic.

[Simon Austerberry @s_austerberry]

I'll kick things off.

Problem: Low newsletter sign-up rate on https://t.co/pm5ZqTtdcs

Changes made:
1. Show pop up after a user clicks 'Apply' to target higher intent users
2. Chang copy to focus on the value of the newsletter, not just 'joining a list'
3. Stripped form down to just the email field

Outcome: Already seen a small uplift in sign-ups 🚀

Still here to help. Drop a link or screenshot below! 👇

Currently waiting for Claude Code to finish doing his thing.

While I wait, I'm offering UX/design advice for anyone building.

Drop a link/screenshot below with your burning UX question. I’ll reply to each one with a couple of tips! 👇

[Simon Austerberry @s_austerberry]

@iaaaaan Nice idea Ian! I do find I keep having to come back to VS Code and check up on the different Claude instances.

Any UX/design questions you'd like to get my opinion on?

[Simon Austerberry @s_austerberry]

@_heyrico Gut reaction, option 1. Second option felt a bit overwhelming and didn't look like attached files. I had to figure out what was going on.

Also not sure how valuable showing the number of lines/rows/columns is in a file.

[Simon Austerberry @s_austerberry]

@0xCrosss Lack of time. Other work always takes priority, so it gets pushed to the bottom of the list.

I've not updated my site for 3 years 😅

[Simon Austerberry @s_austerberry]

@SkyLeo0128 @dramaricic I haven’t used it much since I started using Claude Code. Only for a few smaller projects, but haven’t had issues with it yet.

I always found it a lot easier to work with when I was writing more of the code myself.

@mikefutia SEO

[Simon Austerberry @s_austerberry]

@thekevinqi Thanks for the feedback Kevin! It might be because the job board is UK focused for now. Hopefully I’ll expand to other countries if there’s demand

@pertti_studio And for anyone who's not seen UX Gigs yet, you can take a look here: https://t.co/g0j5DYV9cq

[Simon Austerberry @s_austerberry]

Stumbled on https://t.co/IY9DXelST8 by @pertti_studio. Cool little site to discover how people are building their projects.

For anyone who's curious, I published my tech stack for UX Gigs there: https://t.co/GgFGD4JGv7
