The User Research Round-Up: CW 38

Strategy mapping, a paper prototyping tool, writing for busy people, ethics, & UX labs

Hello, curious human!

First things first, I’m super psyched to share with you the newest paid subscriber perk—access to a database filled with 350+ user research resources, all tagged and curated. If you haven’t had a chance to upgrade yet, this is a great opportunity to get in on the action and streamline.

Database sneak peek

And, a little secret…I might be creating a NikkiBot (inspired by Lenny’s LennyBot) — a custom GPT you can ask questions to that will then source answers directly from my content. I’ll let you know as that project moves forward.

As for me, I’m in Vienna at UXCon having a blast and sending this out right before the conference begins — can’t wait!

Let’s get to our bi-weekly resources!
