Default Everything
UX Best Practices
Defaulting everything means pre-selecting the best option for users across all settings, preferences, and configurations. Every choice you eliminate is one less decision the user must make.
This extends beyond single defaults to entire configuration states — the product should work perfectly out of the box with zero customization needed.
Philosophy: Require zero setup for a good experience. Offer customization for a great experience.
