RESEARCH NOTES
Smaller research explorations into products, patterns, usability and things I’m generally curious about. I ask a lot of questions and once something hooks me, I tend to keep digging until I understand it. That’s especially true when I run into an obstacle, don’t understand how something works, or notice a pattern that grabs my attention.
These entries are a way to document those side-quests and what I found.
Text Accessibility Requirements
There's no single rule for text size. I dug into what the law actually requires versus what platforms recommend, across web, mobile, kiosks, ATMs and game consoles.
Screenshots to wireframes
Can AI turn a screenshot into an editable wireframe? I tested Figma Agent, Uizard, UXPilot and UXMagic against my own hand-traced wireframes to find out.
Sleep Tracking
A comparison of six sleep tracking apps, from Oura to Pokémon Sleep, looking at how people start and stop tracking and how clearly each app shows their sleep data.
Medication Tracking
A comparison of how Apple Health, Medisafe, Pill Box and Bearable handle adding medications and logging doses, and where each one adds friction.
