Episode notes
Nonlinear Prototype Fidelity
- Prototype fidelity isn't linear; visual simplicity can coexist with high interaction fidelity.
- Design teams should prioritize simulation of the most critical product quality.
Use Natural Language for Interaction Design
- Use natural language prompts in Make to craft complex interactions without coding skills.
- Experiment by iterating prompts to refine interaction feel and behavior.
Building Custom Inspect Tools
- Rid built an inspect tab inside his prototype to communicate logic to developers.
- This personalized inspect tool improved collaboration by clarifying prototype behavior.
