Sometimes, the smallest UX improvement makes the biggest difference.
Here’s a small UX problem I came across while working with icons in Figma.
When you have a large icon library with multiple styles and color options, scrolling through the list can quickly become confusing.
You scroll down…
You see a lot of icon styles…
And suddenly, you don’t remember which icon style you’re currently looking at.
💡 What if the icon style heading stayed sticky while you scrolled through that section?
The interaction could work like this:
→ Icon Style A stays pinned while its icons are visible.
→ Once Style A ends, Style B takes its place.
→ Then Style C.
→ And so on.
Just like sticky section headers in many well-designed interfaces.
It’s a tiny interaction, but it provides something very important: context.
Good UX isn’t always about adding more features.
Sometimes, it’s simply about helping users answer:
“Where am I right now?”
This is a great reminder that even a small interaction can make a workflow feel significantly clearer and more intuitive.
