Day 44: Laws of UX

Today, I learned 19 best practices to consider when building user interfaces. I will briefly share five; you can check out the rest in the references section of this article.

1. Fitts' Law: the time to acquire a target is a function of the distance to and size of the target.

2. Hick's Law: the time it takes to decide increases with the number and complexity of choices.

3. The Law of Proximity: states that objects that are near or proximate to each other tend to be grouped.

4. Miller's Law: The average person can only keep seven (plus or minus two) items in their working memory.

5. Postel's Law: be liberal in what you accept and conservative in what you send.
