Restraint The hardest part of designing a glanceable is restraint. It’s technically very easy to add extra information and features to the display. Adding the airport code of the nearest city to a checkin, colour coding the text with the Dopplr city colour, clicking a checking to flip it over and show details. Each feature addition would detract from the purpose, to do less than the existing sites & apps.
Perhaps next time I should make a physical display device instead. It’s easier to resist scope creep in atoms than in bits.
