Timer light up

Context and Problem Statement

What are ways we can refine the current features of our website in order to make them feel more responsive?

Considered Options

• Timer box briefly lights up when the user clicks start

Decision Outcome

Chosen option: The team’s final decision was to not make the timer box light up upon clicking start. Although it made the timer feature feel more responsive by letting the user know that the timer was being started, the general consensus was that the flashing was seen as too distracting and/or obnoxious, and that there could be better ways of incorporating feedback that the start button was successfully pressed.
