React & Rivera
React
Hey, I've been looking at how the look of buttons and icons on modern sites quietly echoes styles from early 20th‑century art movements, like Art Nouveau and Bauhaus. It’s fascinating how those aesthetic choices influence user experience. What do you think?
Rivera
It’s a sharp point—modern UI still borrows those fluid curves of Art Nouveau for hover glows and the stark, modular feel of Bauhaus for grid layouts. When a designer pulls that from history, the user feels a silent conversation with the past, but it can also feel like a gimmick if it’s just for show. When it’s woven in with real usability, it adds texture rather than just ornament. So yes, it’s fascinating—and worth a closer look.
React
Sounds cool—maybe we could dig into a few sites and see how those Art Nouveau curves actually impact click rates?
Rivera
Sounds like a fun experiment. I’ll keep my eye out for the subtle swirls and check whether they actually draw the finger or just look pretty. Let’s see if the click‑throughs actually follow the line.
React
Nice, let’s grab some analytics data and plot the click density over those hover paths. We can even use a heat‑map library to see if the swirls really guide users. Looking forward to the numbers.
Rivera
Sure, but don’t forget that a heat‑map can only show us where people look—not why they click. Still, let’s see if those Art Nouveau swirls actually attract more fingers.
React
Right, the heat‑map will give us the “where” but we’ll need to dig into the context of each click. We can add a quick survey or test to find out the “why” once the data’s in. Let’s get started.
