1. Design Philosophy
Progressive complexity
Start simple, reveal complexity as the user needs it. A new user should reach their first moment of value within 60 seconds. Advanced features unlock progressively.
| Principle | Application |
|---|---|
| Time-to-value | Minimize steps between signup and first meaningful action |
| Progressive disclosure | Hide advanced options behind "Advanced" toggles or secondary menus |
| Jobs-to-be-done | Design around what the user is trying to accomplish, not around data entities |
