UX Bites #19 — Pinterest, Hopper & more... (FREE)

Hey 👋,

There are some great UX Bites today, #2 especially.

So until ChatGPT-4o entirely replaces me*, let’s keep them coming.

1. Easier board creation

When saving an item on Pinterest, they'll suggest new 'board names' dynamically based on the item you're looking at.

i.e., this helps you sort and curate your saved content, and might perform better than a simple empty state.

2. Look at yourself, go on

OneSec helps you focus by temporarily blocking apps like social media.

If you attempt to use a blocked app, they’ll present a variety of novel interventions, like opening the front camera so you have to stare at yourself breaking your own rules.

3. Predicted prices

Hopper is a price tracking app for flights and hotels, and it frames the value of a booking by showing a timeline of the predicted prices over time.

4. Dynamic and functional onboarding

During onboarding, Speechify dynamically show usable settings and preferences in response to your answers.

i.e., you can immediately start configuring your experience, these aren’t just onboarding images.

5. Blocking mobile trackers

Arc will block trackers by default.

But even better; if you're having usability issues, you can allow the trackers temporarily (in a single click).

If the issue is resolved, it’ll automatically allow them for that URL in the future.

Plus, since the last Bite email, I’ve curated new moments of UX greatness from Monzo, Arc, Opal, Project Foodie, CV Library, Rise, Stoic, Slack, Sainsbury’s, Octopus Energy, Loom, Justify, Gyroscope, Clearspace and more.

I’ve trawled through the apps contextualising these Aha! Moments, so you don’t have to. It’s my job.

You can view them all here.

As always, thanks for reading.

If you missed it, the latest case study (on Robinhood, and welcome incentives) came out last week—you can read it here.

New study next week.
