A QUICK PRODUCT SIMPLICITY TEST: REMOVE ALL THE EXPLAINERS
Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter
A product simplicity test involves removing all explainers and seeing if users can still navigate intuitively. The New User Experience (NUX) often serves as a crutch rather than addressing underlying design clarity issues. This mental exercise of eliminating explanatory content makes products more usable even when users skip through tutorials.
