UX Insider: Product Hunt Roundup - E. 11

‍

Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s working, what’s not, and what you can learn from each one 👇

SimplAI

• A video pop-up launches right as you enter — interrupting the flow and likely getting skipped.
• The welcome screen forces users to pick between Experience Center and Studio, but the difference isn’t clear — creating friction early on.
• Navigation and overall user flow feel confusing. Several tasks don’t have a clear end point.

💡 UX Tip:

• Refine the core flows to guide users toward completing tasks. Show them where they are in the product and what actions are expected at each step.

‍

Airial Travel

• Layout consistency breaks across pages — some screens feel disconnected.
• Certain flows are confusing or unintuitive.
• It’s too easy to delete an itinerary with no warning or undo option.

💡 UX Tip:

• Polish the overall design and maintain layout consistency. Add safeguards for critical actions to prevent accidental data loss.

‍

Base 44

• A solid, well-rounded product. Onboarding is smooth and easy to follow.
• Great example of clarity and focus during the first-use experience.

‍

Supercut

- Onboarding leads users straight to the product’s value.

• Polished design.
• The tab that collects watched videos is a smart touch — removes friction and adds convenience.

‍

Stripo

• Solid tool, but the AI assistant UI feels disconnected — no sidebar, and the only way out is a tiny close button.
• Navigating between templates is a bit confusing, with unclear categories and limited feedback.

💡 UX Tip:

• Keep the experience consistent across features. Make navigation intuitive, and ensure users always know how to go back or switch context.

🔑 Key Takeaway:

Smooth flows, clear next steps, and consistent design go a long way in turning new Product Hunt traffic into long-term users.
