What makes a good error message and recovery UX?
Answer
Good error UX is clear and actionable.
Best practices:
- Explain what happened in plain language
- Tell users how to fix it
- Preserve user input
- Provide retry and support paths
Design errors as part of the happy path—users will hit them, especially on mobile and unreliable networks.
