CUX

A user experience so cursed, humiliating, or psychologically damaging that it feels like the product is actively disrespecting you.

Symptoms:

7-step onboarding to do a 1-step task

“Something went wrong :(” with no details

Captchas that make you question your humanity

Buttons that look clickable but aren’t

Popups asking for payment before you’ve seen the app

Dev replies like “works on my machine”

“This app has a CUX. The dev’s username is literally CuckDaddy.”
