A small interface is not an under-designed interface. It is a screen that respects the user’s memory, hands, and attention after the hundredth visit.
The best repeated-use tools put the command surface near the object being changed. They avoid speeches, reduce decorative chrome, and keep the next action visible.
When the product is useful, the interface does not need to announce usefulness. It needs to stay out of the way and be precise when the work gets complicated.
