Here are 3 quick UX gems for you

I reviewed many short notes and picked three practical solutions that noticeably improve interfaces.

1. Verifying email typos

A great pattern is to detect likely domain typos (for example gmaail vs gmail) and suggest correction.

2. Switches vs segmented buttons

Use switches when:

  1. The option is binary.
  2. The action applies immediately.

For alternatives like List/Map, Cash/Card, Delivery/Pickup, segmented controls are often better.

3. Watch flex-shrink

A common bug: buttons/icons collapse when content grows and flex-shrink is not constrained.

Always test with long content and edge cases.
