Yes, that's generally how things shake out. This one seems like a personal project more than anything, but in my experience it's a miracle if you can convince a company that having separate mobile and desktop interfaces is advisable, much less getting buy-in for a fully scaling interface that adapts to screen size.

It's also difficult because outside of fully regular gridded interfaces (which, in all fairness, this site is), there are diminishing returns once you hit desktop size. And user flows can be interrupted or the false bottom effect (where there is content beyond the bottom of the screen, but the user doesn't realize it's there because what they can see cleanly cuts off at the bottom of the screen) can come into play if an interface is designed to scale with screen size.

Yep lmao! Those, and various other psychological or design tricks to manipulate people into doing or not doing something the company/product/designer wants are called "dark patterns".

Touch/clickability is a concern! The general rule I've heard is that you want at minimum a 1 cm by 1 cm square target for anything you want users to touch on a mobile interface.

Doubtful. It's also chunks of information, not just pure units- you remember 695 432 0118 better than if I had asked you to recall 6, 9, 5, 4, 3, 2, 0, 1, 1, and 8.

Or if I asked you to remember "may boat horse" versus "a a b e h m o o r s t y"

Yeah, hilarious that in being a UX site it's committing essentially the cardinal sin of UX.

Also a matter of knowing your users, and designing for the human- I imagine the desired audience of the site are UX professionals and people with an interest in UX, but it's presented like marketing copy for C suite folks.

But maybe that's the target audience, in which case I'd say it's successful. Would be curious to see an interview with the creator.

This is a lot better than the last time it was posted. I still have some gripes with how many of them are presented as "laws", but many important UX concepts here.

Good point lol!

That's a great fun fact!

Fayetteville AR: "County commissioners chose the name Fayetteville because 2 of the commissioners, James Buchanan and John Wooddy, hailed from Fayetteville, Tennessee."

Fayetteville TN: "The city was named for Fayetteville, North Carolina, where some of its earliest residents had lived before moving to Tennessee."

And Fayetteville NC is named for the Marquis de Lafayette from the revolutionary war.

There are two other Fayettevilles, in WV and GA, but both of those are named for the Marquis as well.
