• Put advanced options near basic options, for learnability
Like how macOS’s Help menu shows you where commands live, rather than just activating them; so that you discover other commands.
• Give users a sense of mastery
🙌
This talk about UI design in Microsoft Office is shockingly good!

“you read for 5 whole minutes! have a candy! 👶”
Fuck these features for existing. I’M TRYING TO FUCKING READ.
choosing start date: beautiful, expansive view that shows surrounding events, because that’s the purpose of a calendar
choosing end date: fuck all that
if you find yourself designing multiple UIs that do the same thing, there’s probably something wrong with its overall structure.
the main calendar view should let you set both start and end times because that’s the whole point.
