Are you ready to unpack Jakob Nielsen's 10 usability principles for interaction design with Jason and Ephie? They begin by looking at the first five usability heuristics, which are guidelines for making interfaces easy to use and understand. 

Ephie and Jason kick things off by discussing best practices to ensure system status visibility, so users are kept in the loop with timely feedback. Next, they establish how a good design matches the real world. The third heuristic is giving users control and freedom, that “emergency exit” that sometimes is needed, especially for complex interactions. For the fourth, they delve into the importance of designing consistency and having standards to avoid user confusion, and they close with how to prevent errors before they even happen. Over the course of the conversation they weave many of these ideas together and give tangible examples, helping dig into the real world implications for these important guidelines.
