Design goals

This page contains information on my design philosophy, about the ideas and opinions behind my design decisions.

My top 5 design goals.

1. Small
2. Fast
3. Simple
4. Robust
5. Less is more.

Your benefits.

1. Run the program from anywhere you like.
• You don’t have to install the software to run it.
• Just copy it wherever you like and run it from there.
   
2. Take your preferences with you when you move.
• You don’t have to set your preferences everytime you change computers.
   
3. Everything is contained in one file.
• You don’t have to worry about missing files.
• You don’t have to worry about conflicting DLLs.
   
4. Minimal system requirements.
• You don’t have to install runtime libraries or a large framework first.
• You don’t have to worry about service packs.
   
5. Simple programs are easier to understand and learn.
• You don’t have to read a manual.
   
6. ‘The bare neccessities’ are usually good enough.
• You don’t have to pay for ‘bells and whistles’ you don’t need anyway.
• Smaller programs contain less bugs.
