Awesome details
I like small details in software. Here’s a nice one I spotted the other day:
The Amazon Kindle app for iPad changes its background depending on the hour of the day. It even has some very nice effects, for instance, when switching to the night view, a falling star flies by.
Small details and nice polish shows your users that you care. Don’t be happy when it works, go the extra mile.
