A lot of people think #UXDesign is about features. It's not. The best #UX comes from finding the gaps *between* the features, and then filling those gaps with delicious sticky marmalade so that your users can't escape

The entire machinery of online discourse around building and creating has been so thoroughly captured by entrepreneurial "logic"
