Restraint The hardest part of designing a glanceable is restraint. It’s technically very easy to add extra information and features to the display.

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.
