⚡️ UI design tip - Ensure interface elements have a 3:1 contrast ratio Star ratings, like the following example, often lack sufficient contrast. Simply adding a darker border gives them sufficient 3:1 contrast, which means more people will be able to see the rating 🙌 #ux #a11y

⚡️ UI design tip: Ensure similar looking elements function similarly In this example, the “verified” badges look similar to the primary “follow all” button. They’re not interactive elements, so they should look different to the primary button to help avoid confusion. Thoughts?

🙅‍♂️ Avoid form placeholder text 1. It disappears on focus so you forget what the field is for. 2. It can look like the field is filled. 3. Low contrast / inaccessible. Display label and hint above inputs so they're always visible and aren't covered by autocomplete menus.
