Notes

Short notes about building simple, useful software and the ideas behind the apps I make.

Feature requests reveal where people are struggling, not just what they think you should build.

The Cost of Trying to Be Helpful

Helpful software understands that attention is scarce, and knows when not to interrupt.

Simple software is not small by default. It is software shaped by decisions.

Many useful apps work better when they ask less from the user.

Good software should make the next useful action feel obvious.
