Summary

Rules create a nontechnical model of the microinteraction. They define what can and cannot be done, and in what order.

Rules must reflect constraints. Business, contextual, and technical constraints must be handled.

Don’t start from zero. Use what you know about the user, the platform, or the environment to improve the microinteraction.

Remove complexity. Reduce controls to a minimum.

Reduce options and make smart defaults. More options means more rules.

Define states for each object. How do the items change over time or with interactivity?

Err on the side of perceived simplicity. Do more with less.

Use the rules to prevent errors. Make human errors impossible.

Keep copy short. Never use instructional text where a label will suffice.

Help define algorithms. Keep human values in coded decision making.
