Chicago profile · Software interfaces and release decisions
SaaS Mirror is written in Chicago. The publication studies what software says at each step of a task: whether a save finished, whether an empty state explains itself, and what a release review can prove.
Chicago is the working base for the publication and its two public research pieces: an eighteen-check release review and a twelve-state interface-language study. Both keep their methods, exports, and limits visible to any reader who wants to repeat them.
Selected work from SaaS Mirror
Web release review checklist
Record a manual journey across navigation, feedback, accessibility, mobile use and recovery. Export all eighteen checks with their evidence, including unresolved issues and checks still to run.
Loading, empty, error, and success UI states
Distinguish waiting, empty results and uncertain completion, then practice documenting an unresolved state in the release review tool. The worked exercise shows why a complete evidence note can still require follow-up.
Record where keyboard focus goes
Preserve the starting control, keypress, focus destination and retest conditions for a keyboard journey. A downloadable worksheet and fictional finding show what a repeatable observation record looks like.
