Empty State Audit

45 minEach project

Format: Check how an app behaves when there's "no data."

Audit Checklist:

  1. Open any one of your app projects (or any app)
  2. Check all empty states:
    • What does a new user see on first login?
    • What's displayed when search returns no results?
    • What's displayed when a list is empty?
    • What's displayed when the network is disconnected?
    • What's displayed while loading?
    • What's displayed when an operation fails?

Good empty states: Tell the user why it's empty + what to do next + action button Bad empty states: Blank screen / just shows "No data" / no guidance whatsoever
