Balancing efficiency: Designing for mainstream users

If our products want to attract the public, we must pay attention to the mainstream users, some of them more casual, like some novel features, as long as the design of a slightly simple point on the line. Most of the "available" designs also target this user base. No one wants their own clients to be those who are hard to wait on.

Through observation, we can learn a lot from the casual mainstream users. This type of user can tolerate some long-standing problems because they are used to it. These random users are limited in number and tolerant, and if they are only designed for them, it will be difficult to innovate and improve the design.

It is simpler to satisfy casual users, but it is difficult to find product problems. The expert user makes the product strong, but we need more energy and time. It is very important to choose the design depth and iteration cycle reasonably in the face of the performance and upgrade of the products in the market. So if you want to get good product design efficiency, you should design for the mainstream users.
