Good advice! I take it one step further. I don't even start coding and hope the requirement goes away (mostly for marketing "great ideas"). :-)

I did exactly this when developing my plugin system for my app. I still am doing it, actually. The plugin system is currently in the works.

@_h0x0d_ Good tip. The next time you make something like the News widget, start with nothing and keep it there
