Good read, i experience that a lot with various apps.

Btw, I think we should make one for these forums aswell, on how to write a post that's comfortable to follow :o

edit:
Example: Do not offer an Undo function.
:lol:

Golden Rule No. 3: Make it slow!
Example: If you think that a certain functionality is not needed don't implement it – why should other people need it?

Example: Many end users have many opinions, you have one. That's far easier and faster to implement
Example: Do not offer the option of selecting multiple items, for example, for moving or deleting items. The option of working on one single item suffices to let users achieve their goals – apart from that it may take a little bit longer...

I thought this thread was going to be about the Golden Girls....I'm thoroughly dissapointed :)
