Notes on simple work
Good tools stay close to the sentence you are reading, without pulling the task away. A translation should feel like a layer on top of the page, not a separate stop.
When the interface keeps its distance, your attention can stay with the paragraph and the idea inside it.
Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple.
Clear wording lets the rest of the page stay quiet. The result can appear beside the sentence, and only expand when there is something useful to compare.
That is the shape of a small tool doing its job: visible for the decision, invisible for everything else.
