It's all about the small details

The details are not the details. They make the design.
- Charles Eames

In painting you start by using big strokes and then you dwell into the small details, the little strokes. Design follows the same principe.

37 Signals think the same way and their designs rock.

Next time you design something, start off by using big strokes and then apply thousands of small strokes!

An example

I have started to use Safari as my main browser and I noticed a little detail that was missing in Todoist. This detail is a small one, but essential it makes the experience a lot better for Safari users. So what was missing? Well, when a Safari users switches fields using TAB the text in the date field does not get selected. I have fixed this little detail and the experience should be a lot better for Safari users.
