Very simple, and that got me thinking while I was making today's
coffee
about simple.
A to-do list is considered one of the simplest user interfaces, so much so that people akin it to
basket weaving
of programming. This perception of simplicity is also what lands
to-do lists
so often as the star of beginner tutorials... after the first
Hello World
examples.
But I thought of how so many people want to make and do such grand things. Accomplishment. And then I thought of how Todoist does the simple thing so well.
This made me then think... well if there's a to-do list version of a meaningful, useful product out there... is there perhaps a Hello World version of that?
I thought of custom browser landing pages that greet you with inspiring scenery and
quotes
. I thought of those old school, animated
screensaver
s.
We often trick ourselves into thinking we need to do something big, but maybe we've just not known how delectable it tastes to do something, anything at all. And do it well.
