  • ==Responsibility==:
    • Avoid disaster, allow undo.
    • Privacy, ask for permission when appropriate
    • Keep people safe, who could be harmed by this?
  • Build on what people know, make if ==familiar==. Use the common icons.
  • Consistency is key, but ==flexibility== is important.
  • Make it ==simple==, but this is not the same as minimal.
    • Concise language
    • Avoid redundancy
    • Good hierarchy
  • Care about all the details (==Craft==)
