As a developer, the only thing I’ve ever considered when it comes to user experience is performance. Is my app laggy? Is my website slow? My worries usually end there. But, UX design is so much more than that. There are certain rules of thumb I never thought I’d have to think about. For example, did you know labels should be placed ABOVE a form field? You don’t want your users to move their eyes too much.

Hey peeps. This is the start of my coding related blog! I’ve been wanting to start this but never really found a good opportunity. Until now! 🤗 As part of my internship training, I was tasked to come up with a project idea and build it from scratch! Front-end to back-end. Ruby on Rails. I had a few different ideas but this one is the most relevant to my current hobbies.
