How we make VIVA better

Every day, I try to think of ways of making VIVA better. 

• How do people use VIVA?
• What do people dislike about VIVA?
• What content do people want to see on VIVA?
• How do people want content presented to them on VIVA?
• etc.

All of it goes to, "how do we make VIVA better?"

Adam passed on some feedback from Dave, our UX consultant, this afternoon - we need more user testing data.

"I know," my inner-monologue moaned for the 20th time in the last month. 

​At the moment, we are operating on a three month timeframe each time we start a round of user testing to when we complete changes to the app from feedback and insights that round.  Since reviewing Lurnea's feedback, I have been the bottleneck for implementing the next round of changes - designing solutions is taking much longer than I would like because I am too attached to what we have done so far.  Peeling things away from the app causes me near physical pain.  While my mind knows I have to listen to user feedback, my gut feels like it has taken a few heavy punches.

As the newish old line goes:

A user interface is like a joke.  If you have to explain it, it isn't that good.
