How do you know if a design is good enough to ship?

Full video

The best products are well thought and built with intention. It is important to ship quickly and get user feedback but once a direction is established it is paramount to create an all around delightful user experience. Craftsmanship is often an after thought in software development but it’s no secret that the products that win are also the best designed ones.

So not really "design" as much as "functionality" and/or "implementation"... maybe.

This was an incredible vid I watched it this morning thank you!

obsessing over the product = good design

I ship it and study the user's behavior while using it

Lessons Learned 1. Functionality is non-negotiable 2. It must solve a real problem 3. Usability is crucial 4. Beauty? Nice, but not essential Thanks for the short clip @garrytan

Katie is too cool! Here's her handle, just in case: @lil_dill

A good way is to make the app useful even on a barebones prototype design. Iterate up from there.
