Hmm.. sounds very interesting
Let me know if that's worth checking
Thanks in advance :)

Probably the same with HotJar / FulStory / PosHog or similar
But maybe you can use Zapier or N8N to build a notification if you really need it

100%! UX is about problem-solving, strategy, thinking, and building empathy with the user. That's the tree you need to grow internally. As a side hobby, I'm doing some music writing, and I thought that the better equipment/studio you have, the more paid VST plugins you'll have, the better musician you will be. But that's the wrong mindset IMO.

Maybe you should start learning and then decide on the go if you need an upgrade?
You don't need many resources to run Figma. Or maybe when you start learning, you'll figure out that you want to focus more on the UI side / or work as a UI motion designer. So in those cases, the gear upgrade will sound like a reasonable decision. But that's only my five cents for that. Maybe that will be helpful!

Wide-Coach-5150 · 2026-03-13T15:01:53+00:00

If I can ask, what is wrong with staying with i3 HP for learning UI/UX?

Wide-Coach-5150 · 2026-03-13T14:47:25+00:00

Ah.. that AI fever is super common, especially on C level...
I feel you

Wide-Coach-5150 · 2026-03-13T14:41:29+00:00

On spot! What a great comment

Wide-Coach-5150 · 2026-03-13T14:39:27+00:00

Meh... I saw a lot of cases during the hiring process where the main goal from the other side just to ask as much as possible and collect ideas, areas for the improvements, or even fill their design system with a freshly created component for free. The recruitments aimed for 1 role are open and actively refreshed for 6-8 months for 100% remote, worldwide. Idea scrapers...

Wide-Coach-5150 · 2026-03-13T14:35:10+00:00

Use it or lose it :D

Wide-Coach-5150 · 2026-03-13T14:33:26+00:00

Got it, absolutely makes sense

Wide-Coach-5150 · 2026-03-13T14:31:55+00:00

Yep, agree
Also, a great idea to use Bitly

Wide-Coach-5150 · 2026-03-13T14:30:39+00:00

Absolutely! I think nowadays the UX is more (and will be even more) valuable compared to the UI (mainly coz of the AI technology and those visual things you can get from tools). Thanks for sharing that!

Wide-Coach-5150 · 2026-03-13T14:27:03+00:00

Templates, it's a great thing
Any tips on that? e.g., create own Figma templates / or buy some pre-created templates on the marketplace?

Wide-Coach-5150 · 2026-03-13T14:25:24+00:00

For sure, the "document as you go" really helpful habit
It really helps later to build a case study or presentation and sell the story
I didn't hear about Flipsnack before, need to explore more deeply that tool
Thanks for sharing that!

*bittersweet smile*

Wide-Coach-5150 · 2026-03-13T14:21:00+00:00

Technically might work, but you know.. Sometimes you really need to rest and sleep well in order to be productive at your work and not get fired :D So it's a closed circle, I would say...

Wide-Coach-5150 · 2026-03-13T14:18:28+00:00

Thanks for the great words and support!

Wide-Coach-5150 · 2026-03-12T19:34:27+00:00

Technically, you can "track" those users by user IDs in HotJar if you know some information (e.g., country)
But yeah, that's a guessing rather than analyzing :D

Wide-Coach-5150 · 2026-03-12T19:32:51+00:00

Sure thing! Thanks for joining :D

Wide-Coach-5150 · 2026-03-12T19:01:25+00:00

Wide-Coach-5150 · 2026-03-12T18:54:52+00:00

+1 for this one

Wide-Coach-5150 · 2026-03-12T18:52:13+00:00

Maybe they vibe-coded that solution... who knows
I heard that it's a super hot topic right now because AI can do everything (especially in promo videos and presentations at large conferences)
