The first time I was fortunate to run a usability study with blind users, one participant FLEW through the tasks screen reader-only participants couldn't get through b/c they used a braille display. I woudn't have known about it had we not asked about tech in our screener. Such an incredible tool!

Have you ever considered how much perception of technology impacts user adoption? I wrote a garden note with some thoughts on user agency and error tolerance, and a study idea I'd love to explore someday.

I published a design review tool for better documentation and collaboration in Figma! Tag frames/objects with comments & status (Review Needed, Approved, Changes Needed, Not Ready). If you give it a try, I'd love feedback! #UX #DesignTools #Figma

An incredible opportunity for anyone in the Chicago area to network, learn, and create at Hack for Accessibility on April 5th at Google Chicago.

I made a decision and directory tool of research methods I wish I had when I first started conducting UX research in the real world. It's a work in progress (lacking detail, likely some bugs), but I'm sharing in case someone finds the initial list helpful.

I recently created my first public digital garden focused on UX topics. Anyone else have a UX garden they want to share?! I’d love to see how others are learning and growing!

I went down an AR rabbit hole yesterday. I’m struggling to find use cases for a beginner but I did prototype this little furniture page! If you’d like to test it (obliq.johannasneed.com). Idk how well it works on Android, but I *think* it’s compatible. If not, just one more thing to learn 🙂 #AR #UX

I made 24 git commits today on my newly built personal site, all with the message “fixed for real”

Shared this as a reply, but figured my UX friends may benefit. When building features, auth can be straightforward, but being knowledgeable can help you articulate design decisions to devs. Use established guidelines such as NIST (linked) and search "user experience" for balancing UX and compliance.

I don't know most of you personally, but if anyone needs support or community right now, I'd love to connect. I am trying to find my place on cozy web, a serial-hobbyist, and an enjoyer of mostly heavy music. Lately, I escape by playing a lot of Balatro and doing crosswords with my husband.

Testing is important not just in software development, but in everything we work on. The best thing a UX researcher can do is test their recruitment links, protocols, etc.
