Five rules, re-read often

Dignity as a design constraint.

P/01

Design for dignity.

Every screen asks: does this make the person feel bigger or smaller?

MORE
P/02

The hardest user first.

The caseworker at 5:47pm. The flip-phone. The 30-tab desktop. If it works there, it works everywhere.

MORE
P/03

Psychology over persuasion.

No dark patterns. No engagement loops. Help people think; don't hijack their attention.

MORE
P/04

Print the receipt.

Tokens, watts, dollars. Show the price next to the benefit. Let users judge.

MORE
P/05

Who isn't in the room?

The marginal user is the design constraint. Build for them first; the rest comes free.
