Why we need to have a change of HEART with UX metrics

The HEART framework revolutionised UX design, but it’s time for an upgrade. With a small tweak, we can use the EARTH framework

Nov 21, 2024

The HEART framework revolutionised UX design by focusing on happiness and engagement, but it’s time for an upgrade.

At least for me, I am keen on looking and designing for better.

It’s not about designing alerts, but redesigning attention, resulting in 8 features capitalised by Duolingo.

Aug 1, 2024

Companies that deliberately learn from nature with radical observation can derive new features and innovation. Duolingo may have learned how to seize attention by learning from canaries. The Duolingo owl, Duo, is none other than our modern canary in the gold mine of education, where he does many tricks to get you to learn a new skill (image source: Yeo)
