Positive feedback is not too bad either ;-)

I should say that using imagination is very good. Try to get into the state
where you understand what is (or will) happening inside the "user". What
could change that? Since we may often be busy coding the ideas we already
have it might be difficult, but taking that time is useful!

Maybe you can also do this alone? Try to have a look at how the customize
GUI actually look now and frame your imagination inside that.
