If you're driving somewhere you've never been, would you rather the GPS list all 35 turns before you even leave the driveway? Or just tell you where to turn one at a time as you drive? By the way, the first one, believe you. This is Part 15. Build for GOOD UX Part 15. We're talking about Progressive Disclosure and how to apply it building. Progressive Disclosure just basically means showing people what they need right now. Whether that is the next layer, whatever they need as they go. None of the features that you built are removed, they're just not thrown to the user all at once. Let me show you a bad example. Higgsfield.ai. And this is a dropdown of their image generation. It's so big that you literally have to scroll all the options. And if you think that's a lot, then I go one tab over and all of the video options. Now, say, is to create a motion graphic. It's here at the bottom of this menu. But naturally, my eye goes to 'create video' at the top. And up until now with creating this video, I didn't even notice this option existed. Now here's a good example: Notion. Notion can do a million things. In one document you can add database tables, whole sub-pages, all kinds of stuff. But the interface feels clean. Watch - the AI only shows up when I ask for it. And this menu of everything you can add to your doc? It's hidden until I hit the slash key - then it reminds me what's possible, I type what I'm looking for, and it gives me just those options. Now - one caveat with progressive disclosure: you don't want to hide your most important features so deep that people can't figure out your app without a tutorial, so be cautious of that. Follow for Part 16. The AI chat only shows up when I ask for it. And this menu to your dock. It's hidden until I hit the "/" key. what's possible, I can keep typing to really specify the thing that I'm looking for. Now, one caveat with progressive disclosure. You don't want to hide your most important feature so deep that people can't figure it out a tutorial. So be cautious of that. Next time something, are all the things that I see here needed to be shown at this time? Follow
