HEURISTICS TO SIMPLIFY DESIGN DECISION-MAKING
Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter
Design gets easier when you follow simple rules instead of starting from scratch every time. Some useful ones: stick with patterns users already know, keep choices to seven or fewer, make response times under 400ms, and focus effort on what makes your product special while using standard designs for everything else. These shortcuts help you make good decisions faster without getting stuck in endless debates.
