Don't ask the user to configure what you can infer.
To build the "Best GUI," you must flip the script. You don't save time; you from the frictions of digital life and give it to the user. A truly elite interface acts as a temporal shortcut, making the competition look like a chronological tax. 1. The Art of the "Invisible Theft" Steal Time From Others & Be The Best GUI

This title sounds like a manifesto for high-performance interface design. It’s provocative—suggesting that a great GUI isn’t just "user-friendly," but ethically aggressive in how it protects the user’s most valuable resource: Steal Time From Others & Be The Best GUI The Philosophy of Temporal Dominance in Design
