From my early UI projects, I'm worried we're repeating the same mistakes with hidden navigation.

Hiding key features like menus might look clean, but it confuses people who just want to navigate.

My first portfolio site used that hidden hamburger menu and my bounce rate was crazy high lol. What specific metrics are you tracking now to catch these mistakes early? Like, are you watching heat maps or just getting user complaints?

Check heatmaps for where people keep clicking, but watch session recordings to see them get lost in real time like @brooken99 mentioned. That bounce rate often comes from folks hunting for something you hid too well.

After seeing @markrivera's tip, I checked session recordings and found the same hidden menu problem killing my bounce rate.
