Module 10

Communication & UX

Telling people what happened, and what to do next.

Most software that feels broken simply failed to say anything. Every action has four states — idle, loading, success, failure — and each one needs a visible response.

The state switcher shows the same form across all four states. The rewrite panel shows the same error message before and after a plain-language edit. Both are things you can ship today.

Can we move Thursday to 3pm?

Nothing has happened yet — the button says what it will do.

One clear verb beats “Submit”.

10 min

Pick any screen you have built. Write out all four states out loud — what the user sees at idle, loading, success, and error. Then ask your builder to implement the two you are currently missing.

  • Rewrite one error message so it names the fix instead of the fault.
  • Replace one 'Submit' label with the actual outcome, like 'Send message'.
