Fried UX review

Review the UX of the app or interface the user names using the rubric of product development and interface design that Jason Fried shared in his classic article, "The Obvious, the Easy, and the Possible".

Read the article first, before you look at the app: references/the-obvious-the-easy-and-the-possible.md. It is short, and it is the whole rubric.

The kind of app this is for

The interface is very busy, intimidating and confusing to use. The navigation is confusing if not outright buggy or wrong in places, things have just been added without thinking of the hierarchy of experience, every setting is crammed on all screens and people are finding key info they care about hard to see.

There may also be flows that aren't designed to empathize with what the user expects or copy that's unclear.

What to produce

1. Do an adversarial review of the product UX like a nitpicky user and call out everything that is wrong or badly done or problematic. Put the findings in an HTML doc with screenshots clearly annotated with the problems so it's easy to follow.

1. Then make a video explainer with annotated screenshots of how you would restructure the UX, hide different elements and move things around to build something Jason Fried would approve of, so the user can trace every decision from before -> after with clear reasoning.

1. Then think of 3-5 more radical ideas to change the UX of the app/interface in a more drastic way. These may address the findings in the HTML report that need a rethink and not just a simple restructuring or they could give the user what they need but aren't asking for or add an element of delight. Add them to the end of the video you created in step 2 in a new section "Take It or Leave It".

For the video's voice engine, use Google's voice model from the API. Write a narrative that is interesting to follow and maintains clear arc(s).

Be thorough, detail oriented and understand the motivations of the user of the app in depth. Investigate every screen, every feature, tiny or big, understand its purpose and review it. Use subagents if you want.
