Spacing, Fonts, Layout. Three (when mastered) somewhat simple yet massively useful tools to declutter user interfaces.

I would by no mean consider myself a user interface expert, but getting the basics right has helped me out a lot.

Who hasn't had the countless conversations where a new feature should be discussed, but the discussion derailed to a user interface conversation? I've been there, done that.

Applying some basic rules helps not only avoiding discussions like these, but it also makes a better impression of our work as developers. We don't need to be designers, but some basics help a lot.

Thank you very much, Tracy, for sharing this information with us and for taking the time to write this article.
