Designing by Subtraction
Most technology is built by adding more.
More apps.
More features.
More content.
More notifications.
But for children, more is not always better.
Every feature can also create more distraction, complexity, privacy concerns and parental management.
That is why Candy Bar is being developed around a different question:
What can we remove while keeping what matters?
The aim is not to make technology less useful.
It is to make it more focused.
Calls matter.
Messages matter.
Simple controls matter.
Safety matters.
Not every feature needs to be included just because it can be.
Sometimes better design is not about adding more.
It is about knowing what to leave out.
