Fewer buttons. More “one more go.”
The workbench has a recurring request: give the enjoyable part more room.

From the workshop
The workbench has a recurring request: give the enjoyable part more room.
More room for the dragon to fly. More room for the city to feel like a city. More room to see the cards. More room to pull back a slingshot without conducting a delicate archaeological excavation with your thumb.
This is not a campaign against useful features. It is a campaign against making every useful feature stand in the doorway at once.
Across the projects, the direction is clearer controls, calmer screens, more expressive artwork, and interactions that make sense before an instruction panel starts clearing its throat.
The same principle applies to our apps. Sleep information should feel understandable. Research should become useful context. Preparation should make a difficult conversation less difficult.
A screen does not earn its keep by containing more things.
It earns its keep when you know what to do next—and actually want to do it.
