Hello, Why do we need to show welcome message on the application UI? This was the question I faced today while discussing the product user interface with my product manager, which made me realize that I did not have a very good answer for it, as I have never tried to find out why and kept using it on all my designs as it was seen on other applications too. Can someone point to some research or guidelines on why to use the welcome message with user name for web based applications?
