Episode #2 of UX sessions for indie devs live show - 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:

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