Keep it simple

Fewer moving parts means fewer things breaking, distracting, or confusing the user. Keep things as simple as possible, though no simpler.

Suggestions

• Minimize distractions and choices.
• Prefer built‑in operating system and browser features.
• Use the lightest, most future-proof solution.
• Avoid unnecessary frameworks, scripts, and effects.
• Delete unused styles and features.
