Agree totally - I want to see whether the controls for what I want to use the software for are in prominent positions, buried deep in some menu, or completely non-existent. I also want to see what other UI fluff is crowding out those controls and becoming distracting for me and my users, and how bloated the application is around other tasks that I have no use for.
It's not the sole way to evaluate usefulness of software obviously, but it can help save a lot of time if it's clear from screenshots or videos if its not a good fit for my needs.
- Nition 3y agoHonestly half the time the site doesn't even describe what the software is for. They'll be like "CRE8TR TAKES CREATIVITY TO A NEW LEVEL", "Used by industry professionals worldwide!" If you've just come from a random link on Hacker News or something they can be incredibly vague. Once again, a screenshot immediately shows me "oh, it's a UI wireframing tool."
