I reviewed some of the top voted products. Here’s a quick look at common UX pitfalls and simple ways to fix them:

Sider 5.0

• The main action input fades into the background, losing user focus.

• The onboarding video pops up disruptively in the middle of the experience.

💡 UX Tip: Keep critical inputs prominent and avoid interruptions of the flow.

‍

Aha

• Main CTA and input field on the website lack clarity — what should users enter?

• Some parts of the user flow were unclear, and at one point I encountered an error.

• It takes a long time for a user to experience the product's value.

• Can't delete campaigns.

💡 UX Tip: Clarify CTAs with contextual hints and streamline time to value for new users.

‍

Kintsugi

• The website feels a bit dated.

• Onboarding is mainly a feature highlight, which users tend to skip.

• Two onboarding sequences (feature highlights + checklist) create overload.

💡 UX Tip: Simplify onboarding to one clear, engaging flow to ensure user activation.

‍

Twos Pals

• Unclear value proposition and hero section — users don’t quickly grasp product value.

• Sign-up lacks social account options, increasing friction.

• Confusing navigation and ambiguous terms ("Stars").

• Inconsistent layout causing elements to shift unexpectedly.

💡 UX Tip: Clearly articulate value upfront, streamline user flow and navigation, and ensure consistent layouts for stability and clarity.

👉 Key Takeaway:

Small UX improvements — clear CTAs, seamless onboarding, intuitive navigation — can significantly improve user retention after a big launch.
