UI Copy: UX Guidelines for Command Names and Keyboard Shortcuts

Alternative Payment Methods Enable International Purchases
In China, at the time of our study, mobile-payment applications like Alipay and WeChat Pay were used more than credit cards for ecommerce purchases. (And they were even popular for in-person purchases: just over one third of point-of-sale spending was with mobile-payment apps in 2017). In the

Even if people do notice cues for horizontal scrolling, they may not want to risk loading content that they cannot predict. Content hidden by a horizontal scroll is at a disadvantage because even salient visual cues don’t offer strong information scent: users can hardly guess what information

In our eyetracking research we find that, when users have to select among several options presented on the listing page, they often look from one list entry to another and back again — comparing similar information across different entries. To help this process, the list entries should be
Working Memory and External Memory
