It's so frustrating typing my email in this tiny little box....It's the worst.
Feedback

I can't tell if the address I'm typing is right ‘cause I can’t see it.
Feedback

#protipsYou know you’re creating UX Debt when you hear...
• "we'll fix it later"
• "we'll improve it in release 2"
• "we don't have time"
• "we don't have resources"
• "we can train them on that"

Unintentional UX debt results from misconceptions about users and from changes in their needs, abilities, or expectations over time.
