What is the deal with Graphical User Interface/app psychology? - Lemmy

Like where is the goto psych/CS UI 101 class/book/YT that over simplifies but grounds someone with no background or previous knowledge? Maybe something like the “Blender Doughnut” of great UI design? I’ve changed UI twice with an app recently. I have a slight intuitive grasp of what I don’t like, but I lack the language and depth in this niche to express the emotional response well. I have no clue where to start with my own designs if I ever felt motivated to create one.

If there was hard science behind UI design they wouldn’t totally redesign everything every couple of years.
iOS has looked pretty much the same since 2009, adding additional features, but keeping most of the stuff the same
