Project principles

How these products are designed and shipped.

Each build starts with a specific use case, then narrows to the shortest path from opening the app to getting value.

Implementation prioritizes speed, clarity, and maintainability so projects can evolve without expensive rewrites.

Design principles

  • Clarity over complexity
  • Playful, not gimmicky
  • Fast actions with low friction

What success looks like

  • Features that feel obvious in first use
  • Stable releases that handle real traffic
  • Projects that can be iterated quickly
