ux-psychology
Use when designing, building, or reviewing a screen, flow, or page — landing and marketing pages, onboarding, sign-up, navigation, forms, settings, dashboards, tables, pricing, checkout, empty states, error messages, permission prompts — or when a UI feels confusing, cluttered, or slow. Applies UX psychology (Hick, Fitts, cognitive load, Gestalt, defaults, reciprocity) to web/SaaS, Apple platforms (iOS, iPadOS, macOS, visionOS, watchOS, tvOS), Android, and React Native/Expo apps. Not for visual styling, colour, or animation tuning.
