alt Hacker NewsThese are nice (and ofc not set in stone).
Me not being a "traditional or natural" designer, I like to have a set of best practises recipes or laws. These laws might be difficult to constantly hold in your head. I think this is a PERFECT starting point for AI to "bulk check" some screens.
Honestly I would map it to a short-cut, like I map "format source code" to a shortcut. If you building business software a set of laws or (shortcut mapped to them) can be really useful as a sanity check.
In fact I just did that:
- Downloaded the UX Laws as a screenshot
- Downloaded a screenshot of a dashboard (a userform might have worked better)
- Asked ChatGPT and Claude to do a review with those laws in mind and then to create a new mockup based on those recommendations

I feel like for Project 1 at least, the old dashboard is better than the new one.
The problem with a set of mutually conflicting laws like this is that good designers are able to intuitively understand which ones to ignore and which ones to use for a particular project.

In the first project, it seems that the old dashboard is intended for a manager doing reporting while the new dashboard is intended for a staff member actually handling the tickets. Did you have anything at all in the prompt with a specific purpose/role, or was it left open?
