## DIY UX with Claude Vision

### Design Review Prompt
```
Review this app screenshot for UX issues:

1. Information hierarchy - Is the most important info prominent?
2. Touch targets - Are buttons large enough (44pt minimum)?
3. Cognitive load - Is there too much on screen?
4. Accessibility - Color contrast, text size, labels?
5. Consistency - Do similar elements look/behave similarly?
6. Error prevention - Are destructive actions protected?

```

## User Testing Patterns

### Guerrilla Testing
```
1. Find 5 people (friends, family, strangers)
2. Give them a task: "Sign up and find X"
3. Screen record (with permission)
4. Watch silently, take notes
5. Analyze recordings with Claude
```

### Think-Aloud Protocol
```
Ask users to verbalize thoughts while using app:
- "I'm looking for the settings..."
- "I'm confused why this button is here..."
- "Oh, I expected this to..."

Record and transcribe for AI analysis.
```

### A/B Testing
```
Use Firebase Remote Config or PostHog:
1. Create two design variations
2. Split traffic 50/50
3. Measure conversion/engagement
4. Ship winner
```

## Usability Heuristics

### Nielsen's 10 Heuristics (AI Checklist)
```
