<p><em>This list contains the major articles that have personally molded my approach to UX.</em></p>
<h4><a href="https://uxplanet.org/a-complete-list-of-ux-deliverables-d62ccf1de434">Complete List of UX Deliverables</a></h4>
<p>UX is not just about wireframes; here is a list of deliverables that can be helpful to put together to solve UX problems and will help with the final design</p>
<h4><a href="https://medium.com/thinking-is-hard/4-conundrums-of-intelligence-2ab78d90740f">Cognitive Bias Cheat Sheet</a></h4>
<p>People rely on heuristics, i.e. mental shortcuts, to try to make sense out of information. Here are some common cognitive biases we all have that we should consider when designing a layout or control and how we display or hide information</p>
<h4><a href="https://medium.muz.li/a-super-simple-exercise-for-solving-almost-any-product-design-challenge-f9e6c0019d7d">Solve Problems and Make Decisions with this Simple Exercise</a></h4>
<p>This is a great exercise to do with the team to solve UX, business, and internal issues and address concerns collaboratively</p>
<h4><a href="https://m.signalvnoise.com/designer-bs-5ebadc32f628">How to Cut Foggy Thinking in Design</a></h4>
<p>Every UX person, developer, and designer should strive for clarity when articulating design decisions and feedback. This article gives great advice on achieving that clarity.</p>
<h4><a href="http://rma-consulting.com/microinteractions-all-you-need-to-know/">The Microinteractions Design Approach</a></h4>
<p>This is a quick summary of Dan Saffer’s Microinteractions book. I highly recommend this book, it is the most informative UX I’ve read! Short, but every page is full of great information. It dissects microinteractions into a framework you can apply in your design thinking and he also talks about the “levels of discoverability.”</p>
<h4><a href="https://medium.com/@kollinz/dropdown-alternatives-for-better-mobile-forms-53e40d641b53">Alternatives to Dropdowns for Better Forms</a></h4>
<p>Dropdowns are not always the most user-friendly pattern and this is a comphrensive list of alternatives. It is based on a video I watched that convinced me that dropdowns should be the last resort in a UI (pardon the language): <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcYAHix-riY">(“You Know What? F*** Dropdowns” keynote</a>)</p>
<h4><a href="https://techcrunch.com/2015/11/22/the-most-overlooked-aspect-of-ux-design-could-be-the-most-important/">The Most Overlooked Aspect of UX Design Could Be the Most Important</a></h4>
<p>Empty States are full of potential to familiarize the user with the interface and to drive more user activity.</p>
<h4><a href="https://medium.theuxblog.com/there-are-no-ux-best-practices-fe43af1d96e">There Are No UX Best Practices</a></h4>
<p>As a disclaimer, I do think “best practices” exist but ultimately, it’s the business goal and user behavior that matters. This article is worth reading to challenge the concept of “best practices” and is a good reminder that UX is all about the user, no matter what.</p>
