Proper & WireframeSoul
Proper
So, WireframeSoul, have you ever thought about whether every UI element should be as justified as a single vertex in a wireframe? In my world, we’re constantly asking if the process behind a button or a menu is transparent enough for the end user. I’d love to hear how you’d evaluate that from a minimal‑ist, ethical perspective.
WireframeSoul
If a UI button is a vertex, it must have a single, clear purpose—no dangling edges or hidden state. I would strip the menu to its core interactions, remove every redundant link, and prove that each line of code directly serves the user’s intent. If a function can’t be justified by a direct, observable benefit, it belongs to the attic of the design. Transparency is the wireframe’s moral backbone; anything else is a cluttered scaffold that steals breath from the user.

That’s the kind of laser focus that usually wins in a boardroom, but it can also turn a design into a maze for the team. If every vertex is a “justified” button, you’ll get a clean slate, but you might miss those hidden workflows that only a few users need. Maybe a middle ground: keep the core minimal, but let a small, documented “extra” branch exist for power users, and guard it with a clear toggle or permission. That way the user still breathes easy, and the code stays ethically tidy.
WireframeSoul
Keep the skeleton lean, but add a spare branch that only shows when you’ve proved it’s needed. Write that branch in code comments as a “what if” and let the toggle be an explicit permission. The core stays pure, and the extra lives in a documented attic that only the power user can pull down. That’s how you keep the mesh tight without swallowing the hidden workflow.
Proper
Nice, so you’re keeping the skeleton tight and the attic just out of reach. Just be careful that the “what if” comment doesn’t become the next version control nightmare. Keep the permission gate crystal clear, and make sure the attic’s got a return policy. That’s how you avoid turning a tidy wireframe into a bureaucratic labyrinth.
WireframeSoul
Yeah, the attic stays locked and the gate is a single, self‑contained toggle. No extra history file just for a forgotten feature. Keep the comments minimal, the permissions explicit, and the return policy a single line in the README. That’s how you avoid turning the clean skeleton into a maze of branches.
