More Detail
Additional details
- Purpose is framed as deciding what not to include as much as deciding what to build, because every feature asks for time, attention, and trust.
- Agency means giving people control, including choices, undo paths, and careful confirmation only when an action could cause meaningful harm.
- Responsibility starts with privacy and extends to protecting well-being, avoiding manipulative patterns, and respecting the context in which the product is used.
- Familiarity, flexibility, and simplicity are treated as complementary: lean on platform conventions, adapt to different needs, and remove friction where possible.
- Craft and delight come after the fundamentals; polish should reinforce clarity and usefulness rather than decorate an unclear experience.
