Translink recreaction

In today’s lecture I learned about how the 10 heuristics can be used to assess and evaluate a UI. It is commonly used to find dissatisfaction in a UI. I was was late to class on this day but I was there long enough to be intrigued by the lecture.

Visibility of System Status

• Keep users informed about what's happening with clear, timely feedback.
• Example: A loading spinner while a page is loading.

2. Match Between System and the Real World

• Use familiar language, symbols, and concepts. Align with users' expectations.
• Example: A trash can icon for "delete."

3. User Control and Freedom

• Allow users to undo or redo actions easily.
• Example: A "Cancel" or "Back" button in forms.

4. Consistency and Standards

• Follow platform conventions and ensure uniformity across the interface.
• Example: Keeping navigation menus in the same place on every page.

5. Error Prevention

• Design systems to minimize the chances of errors occurring.
• Example: Confirming before deleting an item.

6. Recognition Rather Than Recall
