Condens

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

info Quick Definition

Condens is a user research repository platform and qualitative analysis tool. Like its main competitor, [[Dovetail]], it helps teams centralize, analyze, and share their research data to build continuous, accessible knowledge about their users.

What Is Condens?

Imagine you are a detective and each interview or usability test is a clue. You accumulate notes, videos, and observations. A repository like Condens is your digital investigation board: a central place where you put all the clues, connect them with red threads (tags), and discover the pattern to solve the case. It is not just a place to store files – it is a tool for building knowledge.

Dovetail

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

info Quick Definition

Dovetail is a user research platform and qualitative data repository. It helps teams organize, analyze, and collaborate on their research data (such as interview transcripts, notes, videos) to find patterns and share insights in a centralized and accessible way.

What Is Dovetail?

Imagine a library for your user knowledge. Instead of books, the shelves contain your [[User Interviews|interviews]], [[Usability Testing|test]] recordings, and survey responses. Dovetail is that library. It allows you not only to store these “books,” but also to highlight the most important passages (highlights), put sticky notes on them (tags), and then group all the notes on the same topic to write a summary (an insight).

Figma for UX Designers: A Complete Guide

info Quick Definition

How to use Figma for wireframing, prototyping, collaboration, and design handoff.

What is Figma?

Imagine a whiteboard that never gets full, that your entire team can draw on at the same time from anywhere in the world, and that automatically saves every change—that’s Figma. Figma is a web-based design tool that lets you create wireframes, mockups, interactive prototypes, and design systems all in one place. Unlike desktop tools like Photoshop or Illustrator, everything lives in the browser. You don’t install anything. You open a link, and your team is already there, collaborating in real-time.

Imagina una pizarra que nunca se llena, en la que tu equipo completo puede dibujar al mismo tiempo desde cualquier lugar del mundo, y que automáticamente guarda cada cambio—eso es Figma. Figma es una herramienta de diseño basada en web que te permite crear wireframes, mockups, prototipos interactivos y design systems todo en un solo lugar. A diferencia de herramientas de escritorio como Photoshop o Illustrator, todo vive en el navegador. No instalas nada. Abres un enlace, y tu equipo ya está allí, colaborando en tiempo real.

Google Analytics

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

info Quick Definition

Google Analytics (GA) is a free web analytics platform from Google that tracks and reports on website traffic. For UX designers, it is a fundamental source of [[Quantitative Data]] for understanding at scale how users find and interact with a digital product.

What Is Google Analytics?

Imagine you are the manager of a large shopping mall. Google Analytics is the security cameras and motion sensors. They don’t tell you if people liked a store, but they give you crucial data: how many people entered the mall, through which door, which aisles they walked through, which stores they spent the most time in, and at what point they turned around and left.

Maze

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

info Quick Definition

Maze is a “rapid testing” platform that integrates directly with design tools like Figma, Adobe XD, and Sketch. It allows designers to quickly test their prototypes, collect feedback, and obtain quantitative usability metrics in an unmoderated fashion.

What Is Maze?

Imagine you have designed an interactive [[Prototypes|prototype]] in Figma. You want to know if people understand it, but you don’t have time to organize 5 moderated [[Usability Testing]] sessions. With Maze, you can send a link to your prototype to hundreds of people and, within hours, get an automatic report with metrics like success rate, the paths users took, and click heatmaps.

Mixpanel

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

info Quick Definition

Mixpanel is an advanced product analytics platform that focuses on event tracking to understand user behavior over time. Unlike [[Google Analytics]], which is page-centric, Mixpanel is user-centric and action-centric (events), tracking what users do within an application.

What Is Mixpanel?

Imagine your product is a video game. [[Google Analytics]] would tell you how many players have entered each room of the castle. Mixpanel, on the other hand, would tell you how many times player “Link” has used the sword, how many have opened the treasure chest, and how many of those who got the sword are still playing a week later.

Storybook

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

info Quick Definition

Storybook is an open-source development tool for building, testing, and documenting UI components in isolation. It allows developers to create components in a “sandbox” environment outside the main application, making it easy to visualize all their states and collaborate with designers.

What Is Storybook?

Imagine you are building a car with LEGO pieces. Storybook is like a workshop where you can build and test each piece separately before assembling the car. You can build the engine (a complex component) and test it on its own, or you can build a simple wheel (a button) and see all its available colors and sizes, all without needing the complete car chassis.

Useberry

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

info Quick Definition

Useberry is an unmoderated usability testing platform, very similar to [[Maze]]. It allows product teams to get quick feedback and quantitative data on prototypes, designs, and information architectures, integrating with tools like Figma, Sketch, and Adobe XD.

What Is Useberry?

Imagine you have created interactive floor plans of a house on your computer ([[Prototypes]]). You want to know if people can easily find the bathroom from the entrance, but you can’t invite 200 people to your studio to try it one by one. Useberry lets you send those floor plans to 200 people over the internet, ask them to “find the bathroom,” and returns a detailed report with the paths they took, where they got lost, and how long it took – all automatically.

UserTesting.com

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

info Quick Definition

UserTesting.com is one of the largest and most well-known user experience research platforms. It allows companies to get video feedback from real users interacting with websites, applications, prototypes, and more. Its main value proposition is its enormous participant panel, which allows you to get feedback from very specific user profiles within hours.

What Is UserTesting.com?

Imagine you need the opinion of “mothers aged 30 to 40 who live in Mexico and have purchased car insurance online in the last 6 months.” Finding these people on your own would be a titanic task. UserTesting.com is like a giant casting agency for user research. You define the exact profile you need, and they provide participants who fit that profile, record their sessions as they perform the tasks you request, and deliver the videos for you to analyze.

Zeroheight

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

info Quick Definition

Zeroheight is an online platform that allows you to create, document, and maintain [[Design System]] websites in a centralized and collaborative way. It integrates directly with design tools like Figma and development tools like [[Storybook]] to create a “single source of truth” for your entire design system.

What Is Zeroheight?

Imagine your [[Design System]] is a cookbook. Figma is where you design the photos of the dishes (the visual components). [[Storybook]] is where the chefs write and test the recipes (the component code). Zeroheight is the publisher that takes those photos and recipes and publishes them in an online cookbook, beautiful and easy to use, so everyone in the “restaurant” (your company) knows how to cook the dishes consistently.
