Suggestions for design
Users should almost immediately understand the main features and goals of the application.
1) Set expectations for users
Desktop Applications, Screen Mates, Widgets, Gadgets, Modules, Oh My!!!
Unexpected behaviors
41
“Couple of fish have swam away and no longer appear in my tank? WTF why is this happening?”
Desktop Applications, Screen Mates, Widgets, Gadgets, Modules, Oh My!!!
Unexpected behaviors
42
- Virtual money disappearing (Food Fight)
- Sony Music Box user complained, “why does it say ‘morgan has added a new video to HIS’ when I'm a girl!?”
Desktop Applications, Screen Mates, Widgets, Gadgets, Modules, Oh My!!!
43
Suggestions for design
Users should know how and where to initiate install and uninstall operations.
1) Set expectations for users
2) Installation should be easy
Desktop Applications, Screen Mates, Widgets, Gadgets, Modules, Oh My!!!
Difficulty controlling application state
44
“I spent 2 hours on a grafitti and when clicked I done, this message saying "Building Image..." pops out and I've already been waiting 7 hours

Suggestions for design
Users should know how to get answers to reasonable questions about features, installation, and customization. But don’t overdo it: No one wants to read a 75-page PDF just to use a weather widget.
1) Set expectations for users
2) Installation should be easy
3) Provide appropriate documentation

1) Set expectations for users
2) Installation should be easy
3) Provide appropriate documentation
4) Provide outlets for user discussion
