Hey, it’s Kushagra. Welcome to this week’s AtlasMoth drop.

I love finding inspiration in the work of others. It stretches how we think, removes limits, and sparks new ideas.

Over the past two years, I’ve signed up for 50+ products from Jira to Slack just to learn from how they feel.

This week, I’m breaking down a few product gems from Notion, Figma, and Blinkist.

🧠 Favorite trust-led design: Notion

Social proof is one of the most underrated growth levers in product design.

It’s not just “nice words from users.” It’s evidence that builds emotional trust.

The six flavors of social proof:
✅ Validation from experts
✅ Endorsements by creators or celebs
✅ Seals of trust from known brands
✅ Power through transparent data
✅ Real feedback from users
✅ Independent third-party reviews

Notion nails all six in just a few screens.

They put trust front and center.

Testimonials, ratings, and case studies aren’t hidden in the footer; they lead the story.

When users see real people backing a product, it hits harder than any ad ever could.

They make “yes” easy.

🧭 Favorite cancellation flow: Figma

I didn’t actually cancel Figma (we love it too much).
But I walked through their cancellation flow just to see how they do it.

And honestly? It’s genius.

Unlike most tools that hide or complicate the exit, Figma leads with transparency and empathy.

They show renewals upfront.
Most companies avoid this scared you’ll cancel.
Figma flips the script.

They show renewal dates, opt-in reminders, and even late fee clarity. That honesty earns loyalty.

They use loss aversion smartly.
Before canceling, you see what you’ll lose: 150+ files, projects, and assets.
It’s not guilt. It’s context.
You remember the value before making the call.

Golden rules for a clean cancellation flow:
✅ Reinforce value before exit
✅ Offer a quick survey
✅ Give alternatives to canceling
✅ Make the exit button clear

Because a real user-first design doesn’t trap you, it earns you back.

🚀 Favorite free trial design: Blinkist

Blinkist built one of the most honest trial designs in SaaS.

Their 7-day trial flow breaks down every step with reminders on Day 5 and clear info on Day 7 when the charge happens. No hidden terms. No fear traps. Just clarity.

And it worked:
✅ +23% more trial signups
✅ 55% fewer complaints
✅ Push notification opt-ins jumped from 6% → 74%

They create confidence through transparency.
When users know what’s coming, they convert faster. Transparency turns hesitation into trust.

They win long-term through opt-ins.

By framing notifications as a way to save money, they make it a no-brainer.

Users stay subscribed even after a sneaky but smart retention move.

💬 Wrap-up

When you zoom out, all three examples, Notion, Figma, and Blinklist, show one simple truth: trust isn’t just a feeling; it’s a feature.

It’s built quietly, through clarity, transparency, and respect for users’ choices.

Notion earns trust by showing real people behind the praise.
Figma earns it by being honest even when you’re about to leave.
Blinkist earns it by being clear when everyone else hides the fine print.

Your time is too expensive to waste.

These moments don’t just make products look good; they make users feel safe. And that’s where long-term growth actually starts.

Because when users trust you, they explore more, share more, and stay longer. You don’t need to hard-sell. You just need to design with integrity.

Every interaction, whether it’s an onboarding screen, an exit flow, or a billing reminder, is a chance to show users that your product plays fair.

That’s the quiet superpower of great UX.
It doesn’t shout “buy now.”
It whispers, “You’re in good hands.”
