In designing the user interface (UI) of an app, it is common to start with the design of the populated state of the UI. As designers, we envision perfect scenarios, common flows, and predictable results. This, understandably, contains the bulk of work a designer has to face. It contains all sorts of issues that need to be addressed.
In turn, we might neglect designing for the different states of the component or the whole system that we are designing.
In general, here are the different states a component might be in:
- Populated
- Blank

Recap of last week’s topic: funding lifecycle
Designing the Product/Service to see Product-Market Fit: metrics is Desirability (how the customers feel about your solution? Would they recommend the product to other people, if not, why not? On a scale of 1 to 10. To see if there is a strong Product-Market Fit to the point that they would recommend.)
Designing the Business (channels, acquisitions, delivery) to see Feasibility and Financial Viability; this is where revenue will come in.
