When conducting studies online, whether through surveys or unmoderated usability testing, we face a fundamental challenge: we cannot see our participants or control their environment. This limitation creates several concerns about data quality, and in the years since this article was first published in 2021, these challenges have evolved and expanded in unexpected ways — yes, it’s AI related. https://webdesignernews.com/improving-data-quality-in-online-studies/

With the scrollbar-color property you can change the colors used for scrollbars. You can specify the color of the thumb and the color track with it.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transitioned from a futuristic concept to an everyday reality.

The most challenging aspect of this is always culture — not just in terms of having different backgrounds, but in a lot of cases, the day-to-day work, company vision, and company strategy. Often, that’s not visible to everyone, but it should be because it impacts decision making. For example, as a company, should we implement this feature or that feature?
