UX

skygrinder89

I used to work at Kijiji at the time (and funnily enough now work at Meta)... When marketplace came out, it killed Kijiji because: (1) it had much wider reach and was sticky... People already come to facebook to chat with friends, scroll the feed, etc... vs Kijiji was when you wanted to buy or sell something, and then you'd leave the site until next time (unless you were an auto dealer, or advertising your service business). (2) It had much better UX and was much quicker to make a listing etc.

I mean, I'm an American and Tesla is an American company, and we can't buy Geely or BYD here. >Don't you think it's weird that Tesla's market cap is like 6x that of BYD... I don't find it that weird, no. I think the stock price/market cap is more of a projection of the potential of the company than a reflection of metrics like 'units sold'. In the same way that Samsung and Huawei outsell Apple, yet Apple sits 4x over Samsung, and in the same way that Amazon in 2001, the online bookstore, was worth more than it's book sales as soon as it started investing infrastructure as a service with AWS, there's more to it than the numbers that get written down. I think Chinese companies innovate by adding fun (but gimmicky) features and are not very good at UX as a first-principles design approach. I think certain American companies have learned to be insanely focused on identifying friction in peoples' lives and reducing that friction so much that it changes the playing field (iPhone, FSD), and at that point nothing else really matters because the game has fundamentally changed out from under those selling millions of units of the old thing. The fun/gimmicky things are still dope, though, and there's a market for them as well... it's just smaller than the larger market for people who want to think less rather than play with more.

lets see paul allens UI/UX

OPINION_IS_UNPOPULAR

If you dig into their app, it's actually just OpenClaw under the hood (at least, from what I've read) That said, their execution and UI/UX is flawless and really impressive IMO.

BuffersAndBeta

I pay by stablecoins quite often for online services. The popular rails I've used are the one by coinbase, now payments and stripe. I'm telling you the stablecoins are completely commoditized. There's almost no advantage of using USDC over USDT. I have coinbase so I prefer USDC over the Base network. The UX of the payment gateway matters a lot and I just doubt Circle will be able to make it better in a meaningfully differentiated way.

RubiksSugarCube

Every fucking UX designer on the planet deserves to lose their job and I'm sick and tired of these bullshit platforms that put style over substance. LET ME DO MY JOB YOU PRETENTIOUS DOUCHEBAGS

Historical-Run-9062

For multi leg options I'd care way more about fill quality, combo-order functionality and position management than flashy charting. Saving a few cents per leg adds up fast when you're trading spreads regularly. I use Moon separately for underlying research so I'd judge the broker almost entirely on execution and workflow. Paper trade the exact strategies you use on moomoo first because broker UX that feels fine for single legs can be awful for adjustments.

minneDomer

I use and integrate with their software. The UI/UX feels like something from the mid 2000s, my SI partners hate it, but they have long-term contracts in place with major customers. Nothing about their current posture gives me confidence they’ll benefit from the continued rise of AI - they’re not hiring top AI/ML talent anywhere near the pace of competitors, their AI product releases are predominately incorporating AI into existing legacy SaaS applications rather than going after new markets, and they have a poor reputation in terms of product quality/usability among every SI I work with.

bigthink3r

I disagree. Fig is in the collaborative UI/UX design niche and no where near taking market share from Adobe whos clients are deeply integrated into their design, editing, and automation ecosystem. What's more likely to happen is AI will take over the collab UI/UX design business.

MartensCedric

Do you remember the mobile app "Reddit Is Fun" that was a peak Reddit UX and Reddit killed it unfortunately. tbh Reddit's revenue is growing at a pretty good pace right now, there's a nice plot here: [https://10kite.com/stocks/RDDT](https://10kite.com/stocks/RDDT)

OkApex0

Years ago I avoided reddit because I didnt like the user interface. My wife actually just told me thay sje avoids it for that reason too. This app has dramatically improved reddits ease of use, and hearing Steve talk yesterday about their focus on the "feed" to improve new users first impressions I think is absolutely the right move. Right now the valuation is compressing, I just hope it doesnt go too far toward the dirt when they dont announce data deals in Q3. That whole thing is a problem that's dragging on the valuation. I wish they hadn't pumped the supposed data value so much, and just focused on improving UX and advertising.

Icy_Ability_4240

it's okay, the UX could be better.

SpaceXLord

The new UX is shit.

Beginning_Juice_4296

a couple of soft indicators: \- adobe was willing to pay 20 billion (= \~$35) to acquire the whole thing 4 years ago. it has grown substantially since then, so $45-50 seems more than reasonable \- figma is the new industry standard. look at all UX designer job postings + tech job postings. they all include "Figma" in it. it's rapidly eating up market share \- with the tech boom, more applications (both internal and external) are being created than ever. that means more building + collaboration is happening

Which-Journalist-748

Once management got rid of Reddit All and it was no longer ‘The Front Page of the Internet’ which is what made the platform great and a huge success to begin with I knew they had lost sight and had no real vision…. You can’t even make an argument that a curtailed feed is more profitable when you can still have the ALL Frontpage with individualized ads anyway…. Also if I’m seeking out the all Frontpage as a user that’s what I want. Telling me to fuck of here’s a curtailed popular page with a post with 28 comments from 3 weeks ago. The UX is shit compared to what it used to be and what made it great! Again all of this in spite of the facts ads could already be customized in the ALL Frontpage anyway! Seriously RDDTs management is dumb as fuck 

Correct-Reality5997

A lot of people still think buying BTC means opening an exchange account then figuring out where to send it. That's a pretty bad UX for someone who just wants to get some BTC into a wallet. Moon is one of the on-ramp options I'd look at for that kind of use case although Id still compare the actual spread against the alternatives.

WingsuitBears

Latest code generation models are actually really good esp for UI development with MCP between design toolkits and the models. I have management talking about getting rid of our UX dep entirely / frontend dev is dead. Law firms also spending out the ass for big context windows. It's going to become ingrained in so many industries and when it does they'll up prices. For many businesses a large quantity of B level output is better than a small quantity of A level. If the rate of improvement keeps up for the code generation models we are getting A level output by the end of next year, maybe sooner.

Varrianda

Sol 5.6 is better at UI/UX, fable is better at backend IMO

pr0prfkt

Robinhood is fine. Just be careful with the dopamine themed UI. If you gamble you will likely lose. But the broker is kind of irrelevant. RH has a strong offering honestly. They have fractional auto buy. Offer crypto and stuff. Great mobile UX. Setup a weekly buy of VOO. Sell only to pay for urgent things. That’s how all personal finance works. I personally prefer Fidelity for DIY’ers. But honestly RH is fine.

21Rollie

I think at my company it’s not programmers actually who are the most egregious overspenders. Because programmers can at least optimize use by pointing the models at the location in code they should focus on. It’s PMs and UX and all those other non technical roles that spend huge quantities making PoCs and having Claude do investigations with way too little context. It costs a lot of money for Claude to fill in the gaps

magicbellend

Then layer in the Salesforce RBAC nightmare and the agentforce offering starts to make a bit more sense Same reason they are offering headless 360 and giving up the UX moat

crypto_cooker

Im a total Power User of Claude and chatgpt now. Its pretty clear that ChatGPT is gaining ground. Its Not only about model intelligence anymore. UX, ease of use , picture gen. Etc. Allin , multimodal are getting more important.

marawki

Competition is way more conveniently priced (china brands). The entertainment systems UX is however top of the game in Tesla (minus the missing CarPlay support)

ChallahdaySzn

If you trust yourself to avoid options / leverage / predictions, Robinhood has the absolute best UX/UI by far.

Sufficient_Lime_3253

It’s not just coding though it’s dash boarding , reporters , research , creating a brain, creating front end UX designs , uploading meeting transcripts and saving them to project files, creating epic, features , user stories , researching vendors, making branded decks , responding to SOW’s. Literally everyone on all business levels at my companies and companies I consult use it as an accelerator. It’s not going away. There’s a ton of money to be made at all levels of powering the data centers, buildings , running and then ultimately whatever business provides the model and wins.

habfranco

Honestly I don’t know. I tend to think like you, and try to be provider agnostic by building my own harness, and just plug the provider that costs the least - still Claude Code is my best experience so far. Because it both comes with a good default harness (useful for bootstrapping yours), and the best/simplest UX/DX. And I’ve almost tried them all (GH copilot, Cursor, Antigravity, etc.).

OkChange9119

100% of Moomoo's UX budget spent on this mascot LMAO. Respect.

TheMotlRedditor

My understanding from people I know that work there on the recruiting product itself, is that Workday is contractually not allowed to share data across tenants. My guess is early adopters demanded it and workday obliged and has now backed themselves into a corner with a terrible UX.

YourMatt

He probably is bad at it, but conceptually, I don't think the workflow works. UX is about research and designing interfaces that work best for the people that are using the product. Skipping the design portion and moving straight into prototyping is shifting UX designers' focus on UX to having to work around technical hurdles. I don't believe a UX designer can work effectively with any level of dev noise. That's my bias though, as an engineer that has worked on both sides of that fence. What I'm getting from my guy is trash on the design portion, plus many inconsistencies. These weren't problems in his work under Figma alone. I'm sure there are designers that are able to get good results from prompts and prototypes, but thinking in terms of standardized quality among professionals in the field as a whole, I think they need the framework that Figma provides. UX designers can use AI within Figma. Devs can translate that to hardened products also with AI help. Figma ensures a consistent quality experience that I personally believe cannot happen under a direct prototyping model. I might be wrong, but it's a gamble I'm willing to put 10% of my portfolio on.

Old_Roll_291

Your UX designer might just be bad at using AI? I’ve been working with designers who are fleeing Figma with similar quality but faster turnarounds

YourMatt

My newest is Figma. I started working with a new UX designer, and they decided to use AI prototyping instead of Figma. It's been an awful experience. Figma isn't getting replaced any time soon, and I'm going to go as far as say that UX design is going to be the last thing that is replaced by AI in software engineering. I also recently did a full web design in Adobe Illustrator. That was an old workflow I used years back, and I got an itch to try it again. That is woefully inadequate and I'll never try that again. Figma is the only viable tool in this space now, so on that alone, I repositioned my personal non-retirement portfolio with 10% FIG. I funded it by selling off one of my oldest stocks, TSM. It's a crazy move, I know, but I never took any profits and I didn't see much more upside potential there.

Other_Breakfast7505

not quite the same UX

pr0prfkt

Vanguard is cool, they just don’t offer all the stuff Fidelity does and their UX is dated. I know Vanguard advisors and they say it is by design, investing should be boring, and they are not trying to cater to self directed investors, they want people to use their advisors. This makes sense, and I appreciate their candor. They would honestly prefer you buy VOO at a place like Fidelity or Schwab, let the them deal with the service phone calls. There is no revenue from self directed investors on their platform, it is just a loss leader to provide people to pitch management services to.

Wonderful-Sail-1126

Yes, those developers will be less and less valuable. However, developers without any UI/UX skills will use Claude Design or some form of AI design platform. They won't be using Figma.

GodOfSunHimself

Nonsense. Most developers have no idea what a good UI/UX looks like and vice versa.

Wonderful-Sail-1126

My 15 years of experience working as product manger, writing code, and designing UI/UX tells me that these 3 roles are merging into one.

TechTuna1200

I’m a senior UX designer. And in the last 3 months I have pretty moved from Figma to Loveable and Claude Design. In our company We are still fully paying for Figma just as much as before , we are just not using it as much. I don’t if we are gonna close down for our Figma accounts, it’s a bit too early. But let’s see

shxwn

i just feel like the UX of the Chat widget can be made so much better. now it just hurts to read it.

Etherius

Graphic design isn’t the same as UX design

Brawldud

Yep. Everyone I met on Grindr, if they mattered to me I got their phone number or IG or snapchat (or all of the above.) Nobody wants to use Grindr to stay in touch, the app sucks major donkey balls. Even if you pay for ad-free it's still an awful experience to use compared to social media alternatives or even other gay apps like Scruff, who seem to have astoundingly good UI/UX engineers.

Dirkredblade

Why are designers catching strays? Good designers & UI/UX make 6 figures after a few years experience? I'm billing $125 per hour and i'm busy. I think you're referring to women's studies and history majors.

zennsunni

Lol. I see you browse the Internet. I use one every day professionally. It's an endless train of unexplainable UX bugs and bad design. They don't even support multiple monitors on a flagship laptop. Even their terminal has alert bugs I've just learned to live with. Same for my colleagues, all of us are mid career devs. But enjoy your koolaid.

Whole-Reserve-4773

Their products are the best on the market. They work seamlessly. Innovation is low, but perfecting features and UX is their game.

Some perspective here, I'm a business owner spending about 7 figures on the platform annually (we are literally their supposed 'target' customer) and we used to derive about 80% of our marketing spending ROAs from Meta because they have been undisputedly the best marketing platform for targeted ads hands down. Since they started investing heavily in their 'AI' engines and Andromeda last year, performance for their 'business customers (golden goose)' have become extremely volatile, completely ignoring their original 'targeting' capabilities from their decade long rich data collection in favor of their new AI GEM powered algorithm that has gone haywire (they let AI logic decide who to target, we often get baby ads shown to seniors, women apparel shown to men etc..). Performance hasn't gotten better, it's gotten worse. If anything, they now have these 'glitches' where they would 'accelerate' spend user's entire daily budgets within minutes. They also forced AI slop on many brand creatives, causing legal issues in some cases as businesses no longer have control over their own creatives, they have pushed back a bit after serious backlash. Their ads manager UX is now full of bugs. Right now, I wouldn't touch Meta stocks until they fix these things: 1. Their ROAs and 'tests' shown in their reports are based on '4 day studies' on limited pilot tests showing justification that their AI is 'increasing ROAs' for their business customers, but in reality it can't be further from the truth. Many long established small to medium enterprise brands have been bleeding money, spending more for fewer results since they rolled out their AI Slop and Andromeda (supposedly to make it easier for new businesses to launch ads, but now you need a PHD just to figure out what each new AI slop feature does). Moreover if you look more closely to their results, most of their revenue increases have come from 'increase price per impression' and 'more impressions', meaning it's artificially jacked up to cover their excessive spending. No one is asking the question 'is it actually delivering the results their main customer base is looking for?'. This is not a sustainable business model. 2. Zuck is known for project excess spending on failed projects, we've seen it with metaverse and other ideas already, however this is the first time it's been so widespread that they've touched their own golden goose, their advertising business. They replaced their old algorithm completely with an unproven AI powered model that's wrecked havoc, and these changes have come on so quickly overnight that very few businesses have had a chance to adapt. They are aware of this internally I'm sure, but just 'sweeping' it under the rug at the moment, and covering it up with increased impressions and jacking up their impression costs. (Cost per impression CPM, is like the product unit they're selling. If you jackup the price of eggs by 20%, then increase the number of eggs in carton, then of course your revenue increases. The problem is their customers are getting worse quality eggs than before, some rotten, at a much higher cost) Until they actually address the elephant in the room, focusing on actually delivering a better product for their business customers and not compromising their customer's own 'bottom line', I don't see this business model sustainable. At the moment, they're no longer 'customer' focused. I see an exodus of long standing brands that advertise with them, pulling their budgets if this continues.

I feel bad for all the UX people as PM becomes the new UX with claude

Tax_Life

I mean that's very subjective. Apples hardware and software quality is still the best across the industry. Design and coherence of the UI and UX is very important to many people but it isn't as measurable as specs are, so it's often ignored in these arguments. You can say you're paying more for less but the broad market appeal of things like the Macbook Neo or the iPhone doesn't really support that. You can claim the average consumer is dumb for valuing what they do but maybe they aren't and you're just in a bubble. Especially for laptops Apple isn't any more expensive than competitors if you actually compare equal products.

A0LC12

I think it's just she stocks crashing mate, not the UX

Loightsout

Almost every major software surface is designed in figma. Every UX designers main tool is figma. Figma uses AI pretty well in its workflow.

ConfidentlyNeurotic

This a simplified comment, and slightly off topic since it's focuses on AI - not hardware microprocessors: The Nasdaq and S&P 500 incdeces are currently heavily weighed on AI expextations, that this surely has an impact on volatility. The Magnificent Seven (largest US tech companies) currently represent an estimated 32% of the whole S&P 500 index. Combine: 1 High P/E ratios (essentially the time it takes to receive a return on investment) 2. Lowering liquidity in the market 3. Increasing amount of Chinese open source and free LLM models with near frontier specs (today's Kimi K3 modem release https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/s/tUhnULf4UX) This really begs for the question, what is the competitive moat that private sector US AI companies can build that will return the astronomical capex investments. Thought experiment: I'm old enough to remember the dot com bubble bust. Imagine if besides the wild capital deployment and valuations there would have been free, open source competition? Many financial analysts are increasingly stating that OpenAI will plan a (partial) US public bailout. We may be seeing signs of this as OpenAI promised 5% equity to the US government. How this links to OP's original post: AI is probably the biggest current driver for not only GPU's, but essentially all microprocessor products (RAM, NVME etc.)

😂 yea ibkr has its strong points but at this rate it will take 30 years to catch up with other apps like Moomoo or Robinhood in terms of UI/UX

KuyaJester

As a consumer, adobe seems to be falling behind when it comes to features and UX on their photography products. For example, when it comes to retouching in photoshop, a simple skin smoothening would require multiple layers and a bunch of high pass / blur and manual touches. While there are iphone apps that can do it in 2 clicks. Firefly and generative fill has been 50/50 for me.

Sad-Group5464

Google says "Figma is a cloud-based digital design platform used primarily to create websites, mobile apps, and user interfaces (UI/UX)." So you can safely assume that any company that does use them isn't clamoring for more licenses since this is a specialized tool for the UX team. And if they already have 95% penetration rate in fortune 500 companies, it means its own remaining growth is hoping that smaller companies don't choose to use better FOSS alternatives. So a 12 billion dollar valuation for a UX design tool is complete nonsense.

ImminentDingo

Even if the UX is a net negative because of ads, Google will be offering Gemini for free and built into your phone and browser even after the VC dries up and OpenAI and Claude are forced to charge subscription or token prices.

Good_Roll

Yeah no shit, if we were all immune to ads they wouldnt be so annoying. Im not saying ads dont work, im saying that users dont want ads. Because users dont want ads and dont trust platforms to serve them recommendations for products that would align with their interests, the consumer demand for marketing spend driven product recommendation within AI chat bots is net negative. Sure it works and you can shoehorn it into a product but you will detract from the UX by doing so.

seobrien

Should they hire me? What kind of execs are these?! This isn't rocket science... 1. Seasons are only 8 shows long, that's a day of binge 2. You wait years for the next season; I forgot about it or thought it was canceled 3. Your show UX sucks. You promote tons of things no one wants and don't let us remove shows or categories we don't want. I can't even find the stuff I like to watch! 4. Frankly, a lot of the shows suck 5. You produce a season like a movie, not different shows. Sitting through an entire season to get the plot and conclusion is not convenient entertainment, it's dedication. Bring back stand-alone shows with a subtle overarching narrative.

They’re kind of the iPhone of cars still. Other western manufacturers simply have not caught up. Stock is way overpriced, but they’re decent cars with decent batteries and UX.

zona2011

I didn’t defend the UI/UX or saying they’re wrong about that, did I? I “defended” the performance. Commercial growth rate suggests they are wrong about the performance piece. Obviously there is something very good about Foundry, commercial growth shows that, and if it’s not the UI/UX then what is it? The performance.

Product / UX design. I have around 9 years of experience. What I have noticed is that I'm much better at directing Claude to produce good UX than my peers e.g. in sales

peterpeer9

Figma should just whore itself out to the press "Data centers have a UX problem. We're using our years of design expertise to build the next generation of data centers that are totally cute and easy to use"

Top-Equivalent-5816

I think the point being there will be fewer licences. A UX designer won’t need after effects if an open source model can help with the interaction motion design in comfy Ui for example. Or small generations for things that they used to open heavy software for. On the other hand, to stand out the professionals will need to get a lot better than your avg prompt engineer So personally idk which side is correct. But if I had to bet, adobe is simply going to incorporate whatever is winning or buy them out.

shrek-is-real

I built a very complex web app in a span of days in Claude using NextJs that would have easily taken an entire team of 5 frontend devs and a UX guy at least 3 months to even come up with a v1 for. It built the db layer, connected to Neon, setup auth layer with a 3rd party, added migration scripts, UI unit and integration tests etc etc all with just plain English-speaking prompts. So it's definitely scary AF. The entire cost was $20 for the pro plan. The only blocker was waiting for my token quotas to reset.

Amazon Ptime is far worse than Netflix. The Amazon UX is deliberately frustrating so you end up buying something you didn't even want.

Vivid_Astronaut4665

“Harness” bruh come on it’s an ide with some special UX to handle multiple LLMs

Vivid_Astronaut4665

Idk pay 30 engineers a million each and crank it out in a year for 30 million? The Composer model is really the only valuable thing and google/anthropic will probably unveil their own cheap coding focused models in no time. All this “harness” talk is literally just some simple UX and extra prompting around LLM iterations.

visualizethis

Just suck it up and buy an AppleTV people. Sometimes things that cost more are worth it. Their business model is a helluva a lot more respectful to our data and their UX design is refined whether people want to admit it or not.

pragmojo

It's more like a DVD player than a tablet or game console. For a tablet or phone or game console, performance matters a lot. I.e. if you can't play the latest games, you need a new console. If you can already play all your content with a good UX, why do you care about the chip in your streaming box? > It might not lag right now but in 3-4 years how well is a ~10 year old phone chip going to be performing? Probably totally fine. A phone feels slow, because the software gets more and more complex and full of features. A streaming box is just menus and a video decoder.

CMS stands for Content Management System which is the UX/UI of the front end on your website. Significantly doubt that you've built a native CMS with chat gpt.

$FIG feels really cheap here, im not sure if claude design can actually replace figma. I work in tech, if i treat FIG as a software solely to design UI/UX then yes, AI generated code destroys it. But Figma is alot more than a design tool, i cant find an alternative where non-technical and technical stakeholders can collaborate on design tokens and EASILY amend / add / create components.

Anthropic has compliance and performance moat. Anyone using it for coding or implementing in business likely has real understanding. Anyone using the chat function has no real concept of what AI is capable of. Value is real, actualized today. Anyone saying otherwise just isn’t using it. I have a bunch of fresh grads with no coding experience writing lightweight apps and reports. Prefer these guys to coders / data analysts because they spend time learning the business context. Then it’s a matter of telling the bot what to do. Best use cases so far are data and reporting-based, but it’s only a matter of time before it translates robustly to full stack engineering. Because data and reporting basically underpin software functionality, and the gap is UI/UX and backend infra reqs — which I’m noticing Claude is gettin better and better at with each iteration.0

Some dude killed himself over a very similar situation even though he was actually barely in the red. It prompted significant changes at Robinhood for the UX of a credit spread, or at least they say. https://www.forbes.com/sites/sergeiklebnikov/2020/06/17/20-year-old-robinhood-customer-dies-by-suicide-after-seeing-a-730000-negative-balance/

You can do all the designing later getting the functionality comes first and yes I use the web design all the time but it's class UX design to make it easy for the The average user.

15YoE (though not as a dev but have a masters in CS) I wrote what would have been an entire SaaS with payments, accounts, database, UI/UX, testing etc etc. What would've been a team working on it for months entirely by myself in nights and weekends.

Sabre started its AI investment journey in 2020..timing was unfortunate...but necessary...so today, almost 100% cloud and nimble, AI infused...it was a great preparation for what is unfolding right now..any LLM is just as good as the data..and Sabre spent last 50 years doing this heavy lifting..the age of paid placements and redirecting is over..plumbing is the key..funnel is collapsing..GDS is the king , solving L2B and being the marketplace..efficient and very cheap, cca 1.5% cost of distribution! So even if you choose to bypass this and -try- to do it for much higher cost( while you do not have expertise and 50 petabytes of highly mission critical proprietary data sabre accumulated last 50 years) why would any buyer connect with you if he can use sabre and be connected to 500 airlines in a single API/MCP. this way he gets transparency, price discovery etc...you not gonna get that on airline direct...Why would amazon exist? why amazon sells nike sneakers? bcs of price discovery, transparency, that is the power of any marketplace...and from UX just use mindtrip flights and UX is so much better, faster servicing..It is new market for Sabre after almost 25 years of B2c loss from OTA websites and others..so with rising ebitda, falling cost of debt, very strong moat it is very compelling opportunity

Fair enough. My point is that for 80% of teams Figma Make is more than good enough to eliminate a significant portion of their UX/UI dollars. I have no doubt that for some enterprises, they emphasize design so much that Figma Make has no role.

I mean I don't know what your job is but we ended our contract with a UX/UI firm because Figma does their work 10000x faster at and 1% of the cost, albeit 75% of the quality.

The UX team in my company are downsized. Many companies doing the same. Downsizing and not hiring Devs and UX. The seat based model will be redundant soon

Your assessment of Robinhood is spot on. For HOOD, options aren't just a bigger bucket; they are the high-margin engine driving transaction revenue. When you compare this dynamic to **Webull**, the fundamental mechanics of their revenue models are incredibly similar, but their user demographics and structural layout create a different operational leverage. Here is how Webull stacks up against the Robinhood breakdown you highlighted. # 1. The Core Similarity: Heavy Reliance on Options PFOF Just like Robinhood, Webull’s primary transaction-based revenue engine is **Payment for Order Flow (PFOF)**, and the broad economics of the retail brokerage industry dictate that options are vastly more lucrative than equities (Bryzgalova et al., 2023). * **The Spread Disadvantage/Broker Advantage:** Wholesalers pay retail brokerages significantly higher PFOF rates for options because the bid-ask spreads on retail options (especially highly active, short-term weekly contracts) are substantially wider than those of standard equities (Bryzgalova et al., 2023). * **The Revenue Mix:** Academic and industry reviews of retail PFOF data show that across platforms reliant on this model (including Robinhood and Webull), options order flow routinely accounts for the lion's share of total transaction-based intake, even if the absolute number of accounts trading equities is higher (Bryzgalova et al., 2023). # 2. Strategic Divergences: Robinhood vs. Webull While both rely heavily on options to monetize trading activity, the way a Pattern Day Trader (PDT) regulatory change waves through their financial statements differs due to how each platform is positioned: |**Feature / Revenue Driver**|**Robinhood (HOOD)**|**Webull**| |:-|:-|:-| |**User Demographics & Behavior**|Broad retail base; historically heavily skewed toward simpler UX, though expanding aggressively into advanced tools.|Attracts a more intermediate-to-advanced technical retail trader who demands advanced charting, indicators, and short-selling capabilities.| |**Sensitivity to PDT Changes**|High explosive potential. Because Robinhood has a massive total user base, lifting or modifying PDT restrictions mobilizes a large cohort of latent day traders.|Exceptionally high velocity. Webull’s existing user base is already primed for high-turnover active trading; relaxing PDT rules directly scales their existing core user habits.| |**Margin & Cash Movement (Second-Order)**|Massive driver via **Robinhood Gold** subscriptions and competitive net interest income (NII) on uninvested cash.|Driven heavily by **Margin Interest Rates** and short-selling fees (stock lending), catering to traders utilizing leverage.| |**Alternative Transaction Mix**|Heavily exposed to Crypto volatility and a growing "Other" bucket driven by prediction markets/event contracts.|Focuses strictly on core multi-asset class trading (equities, options, futures) with historically less emphasis on domestic event contracts.| # 3. The Second-Order Effects: Margin vs. Subscriptions If a regulatory shift or a product change drives highly active trading, the second-order benefits manifest differently on each balance sheet: * **Webull’s Leverage Engine:** Webull's platform structure inherently nudges users toward margin accounts to execute complex option spreads and short equity positions. Therefore, increased trading velocity for them translates immediately into **margin interest revenue** and borrowing fees. * **Robinhood’s Sticky Subscriptions:** While Robinhood also captures massive net interest income on margin, they have successfully monetized the *readiness* to trade via premium tiers (Robinhood Gold). Active traders on HOOD feed into a subscription ecosystem that stabilizes their revenue even when market volumes temporarily dip. # The Takeaway If a regulatory change allows retail investors to trade more actively without hitting the PDT wall, **options remain the critical battleground for both companies**. However, while Robinhood relies on its massive scale, gamified simplicity, and diversified "other" revenues (like event contracts) to monetize that activity, Webull represents a concentrated bet on pure trading velocity, technical charting engagement, and margin utilization.

Yeah I mean IBKR is excellent for charting and executing more complex orders, the mobile app UX/UI is just awful compared to RH. Most of my trades are monthlies or more so I don’t usually look past MAs/VWAP/RSI I’m back at 24k rn so hopefully i’ll be moving back when I hit 30 for some buffer

Fidelity UX is garbage.

zashiki_warashi_x

UI/UX is awful.

Microsoft UX is trash. They’ve outsourced everything to Indians and now the product sucks. Imagine that

AutomaticDot

I get the consumer UX frustration, but this massively undersells Microsoft’s actual moat. MSFT isn’t winning because Windows settings are beautiful, its winning because Entra ID, M365, Intune, Defender, Azure, Purview, Teams and Power Platform are deeply embedded in enterprise IT workflows. In real companies, identity, device compliance, Conditional Access, SSO, endpoint management, email , security and governance all tie together. That ecosystem is incredibly hard to replace. Microsoft definitely ships messy UX and half-finished products sometimes, but “Outlook is annoying” is not really the core investment thesis. The enterprise platform lock-in is.

TheSeaShadow

Yeah no, love it or hate it Tesla sets the high bar for UI/UX for a "tech car". But for something trying to preserve the automotive spirit this isn't it. The Luca is better grouped with the Sony/Honda Afeela than masquerading as an Italian supercar.

It’s been game changing for our business. We have a school but since i used to be a software engineer in FAANG, im hyper focused on efficiency and having software that fits our operations. We had a friend code up our backend software about a decade ago and we’ve decided to rev it finally so been doing that with in the last year. We didn’t really start using AI until maybe 6 or so months ago. Before that I had one of our teachers doing UX/UI design and he would code up features. Generally took a month per major feature. Now I just stick what I want in figma make or Claude or something and it generates a credible prototype in about 30 mins. He takes that and builds and entire feature or two every week and releases it to our team to use. We’ve like 5-6x output while adding only a couple hundred bucks in AI fees a month (I’m saving thousands on UI anyway since I no longer need to give that teacher extra hours for design work).

I read your other reply. Is it only about the UX being bad? Or something else pissing you about Fidelity?

There are many competitors in the ITSM space like Salesforce, BMC Helix (Remedy), Jira, Zendesk. I don't have anything to compare it with because I haven't worked on those tools and can only speak for ServiceNow. If you've ever used ServiceNow, even a personal developer instance (free), you kinda accept that the UX is slow. Everything is done through their API, so database operations are done row by row which is painfully slow. Page loads are slow. It's especially embarrassing when you're demoing something to customers and it hangs (running transaction popup message). ServiceNow, the platform, admittedly can do a lot of things, but I don't think it excels at anyone of them. They tried to appeal non-programmers with their "Flow Designer" and tried to introduce "ServiceNow IDE" for programmers. Basically pivoting towards 2 extremes and failing to execute either well. I extend that towards their AI endeavors and don't have high hopes. They are first and foremost an IT Service Management platform, not an AI company.
