Field Notes 14: Designing for Slow Software

Draft Schedule

What if a product could ask less of you?

Slow software is not software that lags. It is software that refuses to fill every quiet moment with a badge, a nudge, or a streak — and trusts you to come back on your own schedule.

In this issue we get into:

  • Where attention budgets actually go inside a workday
  • Three teams that shipped fewer notifications and kept retention
  • A short audit you can run on your own onboarding flow

Whether you build products, write about them, or simply live inside a dozen of them, this letter is a standing argument for interfaces that stay out of the way.
