That's the discipline of data-driven business. If 20 people use your app and despise it and are depressed by it, that's better than 19 people using it and loving it. No sentimentality allowed.
- sosborn 4y agoHow could anyone possibly measure that an app is despised and depresses people (or vice versa)? Usage can't be it, because I use a ton of software that I despise and get depressed by, but only because I get paid to do so, or the app is so niche there isn't a viable replacement.
- layer8 4y agoThey don’t. They just measure that the more “modern” design gets 5% more users, so clearly it must be better.
- TeMPOraL 4y ago> How could anyone possibly measure that an app is despised and depresses people (or vice versa)? You'd have to actually talk to your users. But that requires genuine human investment, so it doesn't scale. It doesn't come in the form of a third-party SaaS with a pretty dashboard, generous free plan, and integration via single <script> tag. In short: they could measure this, they just don't bother to.
