Hey everyone! This week we’re focused on Success, the metric that shows if users click the right spot on their first try. Our latest example highlights how an e-commerce brand used first-click tests to create clearer paths and reduce hesitation.
You’ll also find fresh clips from Kike Peña on using AI to ask better questions and make more intentional design choices, plus Abhi Chatterjee’s take on balancing strategy and tactics to ship stronger products.
On the forum, we’re breaking down design audiences, triangulation, and new AI metric ideas and Glare v0.9.9.9.2 brings Wiki fixes and a Safari bug patch.

Success shows whether users can find what they’re looking for right away. It’s all about that first click: did they know where to go, or did they guess?
On the Glare Success page, we show how to test whether users can locate a key feature, CTA, or piece of information using first-click tasks. In this week’s example, an e-commerce clothing brand needed to determine whether users could access a new feature on their product details page.
The score reveals how many people clicked in the right spot on their first try, helping you spot confusion before it turns into frustration. Success helps you design clearer paths, reduce hesitation, and make sure users can take action with confidence. Want to learn more or suggest edits? Let us know in the forum. |

This week, we’re featuring a set of clips from Kike Peña, Kike argues that AI isn’t just about going faster, it’s about asking better questions and making more intentional decisions.
He shows that great design starts with mapping the system, then using AI to accelerate exploration without skipping the hard thinking. Watch the clips and start thinking beyond the screen. |

In this week’s featured post, Abhi Chatterjee emphasizes that great products need both strategy and tactics, strategy sets the direction and aligns with business goals, while tactics turn that vision into features users can experience.
Abhi argues that design leaders must balance both, stepping back to shape the future and diving in to execute when it counts. → Strong products balance strategy with short-term execution. |

BRYAN’S LINKEDIN POSTS
Bryan leans into the idea that most designers think caring about users is enough, but empathy alone doesn’t drive change.
To earn influence and move decisions forward, teams must translate user needs into business language using UX metrics and signals that tie directly to business goals. → Product designers say they’re fighting for user needs. |
