05 / sketchbook

Unfinished thoughts are allowed here.

Notes about products, interaction, agents and whatever I am currently trying to understand. The cards below are draggable — focus one and use the arrow keys.

Interface note

A control should appear when it has something to do — not sit there being permanently available.

Tiny rule

If a screen looks impressive before it feels useful, keep editing.

State, plainly

Show what the system is doing: waiting → working → checking → done. Never just a spinner.

Build log

Handmade does not mean decorative. It means every decision had a reason behind it.
