Things worth reading slowly

Apple's guidance on designing for its platforms.

Google's design system documentation for Android and the web.

W3C's introduction to who accessibility helps and how.

Why motion should be optional, and how to provide that.

Apple's rules for App Store submissions.

Google Play's explanation of data disclosure requirements.

The UK regulator's resources for organisations handling personal data.

Excellent guidance on plain, scannable writing for the web.

Three habits we recommend to every team

Read your own error messages aloud. If they sound cold or confusing spoken, they are worse on screen.

Turn on reduced motion and large text once a week. It is the quickest way to find layouts that only work under perfect conditions.

Keep a list of things you decided not to build. It protects the product's focus and saves repeated debates.
