The words would not come from my fingers. Of Craft's many uses, what struck István most is how it makes him want to write.Īs CEO, I have to write a lot: investor reports, memos to my team, strategy documents and plenty more.īut, sometimes I would find that I was just unable to write. István started using Craft for personal purposes before bringing it into his business life. I think Craft has done an incredible job minimizing that time it's really close to zero and that's truly remarkable. You want to minimize the time you're spending with the tool, instead of actually just achieving what you want. In product design, there's a principle we call ‘flow time minimization’.

István explains that it's Craft's 'invisibility' that resonates with him and allows him to just get work done, rather than get in the way. István Csanady, CEO and founder of Shapr3D says Craft cures his writer's block Flow Time Minimization I don't have to spend a second thinking about anything except what I want to accomplish in the tool. It feels like a tool that works for me, rather than the other way around. It has all the teeny, tiny details that make a product not just good, but really fantastic. It's really, really hard to please me, so when my first impression of using Craft was 'oh this is a product that was designed for me' - that's really saying something. I'm the kind of person who finds a UX flaw and throws my whole phone away. When it comes to digital products, I am extremely picky.
