Session 1: Stop the Scroll of Doom: 10 Game inspired UI Tricks in Power Apps, Sandra Kiel, Microsoft MVP
Stop the Scroll of Doom isn’t about fancy visuals. It’s about one thing: making Power Apps feel obvious to use.
Many business apps don’t fail because they are broken. They fail because they are tiring. One endless screen. Too many buttons. No clear “where am I”, no progress, no feedback, weired error messages. Users scroll, guess, hesitate, and then… they just stop using the app and find ways arround.
Games handle complexity differently. They guide players with clear objectives, simple navigation, visible progress, and tiny feedback moments that build trust. And the best part: you can use the same tricks in Power Apps without turning your app into a toy.
In this session, i will give you 10 practical game UI tricks to upgrade your Power Apps UX, focused on:
Clear navigation (so users never feel lost)
Progress and save poi
