    • How do you make sure your components have access to the data they need?
    • What manages the data?
  • How does your screen show that it's loading something? (e.g. from the internet)
    • How does your screen show that the loading failed?
  • How does your screen show a modal explanation of something? (e.g. tutorial, alert dialog)
  • How does a user fill in information?
    • How do you validate that information?
    • How is the user shown that certain input is wrong/didn't pass validation?
  • How does the onboarding show?
