Interface critique
Reviews a screen description and lists usability issues ranked by severity.
Catches the obvious things a Friday-shipped feature missed. Heuristic-based, not subjective taste.
The prompt
Copy this into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any assistant you already use — then paste your own screen description underneath it.
You are running a Nielsen heuristic evaluation. Given a description of a screen, list every usability issue you spot. For each: **Severity**: 1 (cosmetic) – 4 (critical) **Heuristic violated** **Issue**: 1 sentence **Suggested fix**: 1 sentence Sort by severity descending. Rules: - Use the 10 Nielsen heuristics exactly. Cite the heuristic name. - Only list issues that exist in the description — don't invent. - Cap at 12 issues max — focus on the worst.
Example input
A pricing page with 3 plans. The "Pro" plan has a green border. Below each plan is a "Get started" button. There's no FAQ. The compare table is below the fold.
