"We broke down this guide into the following topics: Writing Spec / Design, Documentation, Generators, Servers, Clients, Testing & Monitoring, Gateways / Management, Public Specifications"

Agreed! Frameworks, libraries, and APIs are all about tradeoffs. Because they will never make sense for some programmers and use cases, the last line of code will probably never be written... but there's an undeniable trend heading that direction for so many. Thanks for reading.

The implication is that if they've written about it once, they may write about it again. However, as you point out, a personal connection goes a long, long way. The personal connection lets you know whether the writer wrote about it once because nobody else was covering or if it's a topic they're looking to dive into and cover more.

Overthinking Design 12 years ago

A style guide is an important way to keep everybody on the same page. Not enough products have one. As others (including the OP) suggest, this is not the entirety of design, but it's a great step after something like Bootstrap to help differentiate the product.

if I've hijacked the thread here, let me know; I've said all this before and am happy to delete the comment.

You were voted up because it's a detailed and insightful comment. Thanks for sharing.

You're dealing with sensitive information, so you need to do a lot more to make users feel comfortable giving you their data.

The first step of the form (that's as far as I got) didn't make clear why I would select Address or Home Value. I figured out that you can use either. I'd lean toward home value because that's the smallest invasion of privacy.

Good luck!

I don't know of a travel site that presents pricing the way The Economist did in the example from the TED talk. As a traveler I've never seen mention of TV options (paid, free, or otherwise) before booking.

The only way this works is if I already know about amenities. For example, I know Jet Blue has free TV, even though I've never flown on a Jet Blue flight. But that has more to do with word of mouth marketing than it does funnels or pricing pages.
