Navigation
Mega-menu with progressive disclosure — 4 top-level categories, smooth hover transitions
CTA Hierarchy
Primary CTA: high-contrast purple button · secondary: outlined · clear visual hierarchy
Animation
Scroll-triggered fade-ins, micro-interactions on form focus — performant, not decorative
Accessibility
2 contrast issues on secondary text · focus states visible · keyboard navigable
Competitor interaction pattern audits
Systematically analyse competitor interfaces for interaction models, navigation patterns, and UX conventions — building a benchmark that informs your own design decisions and design principles.
Capture and compare the onboarding flows of Linear, Notion, and Height. Identify the key interaction patterns, progressive disclosure choices, and where each creates friction.
Comparison complete. Linear uses opinionated defaults with minimal choices upfront — 3 steps to first task. Notion offers high flexibility but creates choice paralysis (avg 6-step onboarding). Height prioritises role-based personalisation. Full pattern comparison chart included.

Recommendation
Linear's progressive disclosure model has highest first-task completion rate
Interaction and motion design research
Stay current with emerging interaction models, animation standards, and design system conventions across web and mobile — informed by what is shipping in production products, not just design blog theory.
Research how leading mobile apps are using haptic feedback and micro-animations in 2025–2026. What are the emerging patterns for gesture-based navigation?
Report compiled. Haptic feedback is now used contextually for confirmation, error, and navigation events (not decoratively) across 80% of top apps. Gesture-based navigation is converging on swipe-to-dismiss and bottom sheet patterns. Spring physics have largely replaced linear easing curves.

Haptic Feedback
Contextual use (confirmation, error, navigation) — cited in 80% of top apps · not decorative
Gesture Navigation
Swipe-to-dismiss and bottom sheet patterns converging as dominant models
Spring Physics
Largely replaced linear easing — more natural gesture response on mobile
State Transitions
Morphing buttons and skeleton loading now considered baseline expected UX
Design system documentation and diagram creation
Generate visual documentation for interaction flows, state diagrams, and component specifications that communicate design decisions to developers and stakeholders clearly.
Create a state diagram for our modal component — showing all states (idle, loading, success, error, confirmation), transitions between them, and the triggers for each transition.
State diagram rendered with 5 states and 8 transition paths. Includes triggered events, animation direction indicators, and a legend. Exported as PNG and SVG.
Visual concept generation for presentations
Generate supporting visuals, UI mockup concepts, and illustration assets for design presentations, pitches, and portfolio pieces — without waiting for a full design build.
Generate concept visuals for a fintech dashboard design — showing data visualisation heavy interfaces in a dark mode aesthetic with clear typographic hierarchy.
Generated 4 dashboard concept visuals in dark mode. Strong typographic hierarchy, card-based data components, and blue/green accent palette. Suitable for a client presentation or portfolio case study.

Accessibility and performance auditing
Run automated audits on your designs-in-production and competitor interfaces to identify accessibility violations, performance bottlenecks, and SEO issues affecting the interaction experience.
Run a full accessibility and performance audit on app.example.com — I need a WCAG compliance check, Lighthouse performance scores, and any CLS issues affecting the animation sequences.
Audit complete. Performance: 74/100 mobile (CLS 0.18 — above the 0.1 threshold, likely from font-swap and hero image animation). WCAG failures: 3 colour contrast issues on secondary CTAs, missing focus indicators on interactive cards, unlabelled icon buttons.

Competitor interaction audit
Audit the navigation and interaction patterns of [competitor URL]. Identify the IA structure, key CTA hierarchy decisions, micro-interaction usage, and any accessibility issues.
Capture competitor flows
Take screenshots of the onboarding flow at [URL], capturing each step. I need full-page screenshots in desktop and mobile viewport sizes.
Interaction design trends
Research the current state of mobile interaction design trends for 2026 — gestures, animation patterns, haptic feedback use, and what top apps are doing differently.
Generate UI concept visuals
Generate 4 concept UI mockup illustrations for a health tracking mobile app — clean, modern, using a calming blue and white palette with clear data visualisation components.
State diagram
Create a Mermaid state diagram for a multi-step form component with states: idle, active, validation-error, submitting, success, and server-error. Show all transition triggers.
Accessibility audit
Run a WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility audit and Lighthouse performance audit on [URL]. List all failures with severity ratings and recommended fixes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can Web Screenshot help with interaction design work?
Web Screenshot captures full-page and viewport-specific screenshots of any URL with full JavaScript rendering, making it easy to document competitor flows, capture current states for audits, and build visual comparison libraries without manual screen recording.
Can AI generate useful UI concept visuals for client presentations?
Generate Image produces compelling concept-level UI visuals that work well in presentations, pitches, and portfolio pieces to communicate direction. They are not production-ready wireframes, but they communicate aesthetic and structural intent clearly to non-designers.
How useful is Diagram Generator for interaction design documentation?
Diagram Generator supports Mermaid, PlantUML, and other formats for creating state diagrams, user flows, and component interaction maps. These are particularly useful for handoff documentation and for communicating complex interaction models to developers.
Can these tools help with design system work?
Deep Research helps you benchmark design system conventions, Diagram Generator creates component and state documentation, and SEO audits help identify accessibility gaps in existing implementations. For teams maintaining living design systems, these tools support governance and documentation workflows.
How do interaction designers use Lead Finder for business development?
Lead Finder is useful for freelance interaction designers building prospecting lists — you can target specific roles (Head of Product, Design Director) at companies in growth stages or sectors you specialise in, enabling targeted outreach with relevant context.
