Why Designers Get Stuck In The Details And How To Stop

Designers love to craft, but polishing pixels before the problem is solved is a time-sink. This article pinpoints the five traps that lure us into premature detail — being afraid to show rough work, fixing symptoms instead of causes, solving the wrong problem, drowning in unactionable feedback, and plain fatigue — then hands you a four-step rescue plan to refocus on goals, ship faster, and keep your craft where it counts. https://smashingmagazine.com/2025/06/why-designers-get-stuck-in-details/

- Unicode-safe (correctly handles grapheme clusters, emoji, etc.)

- ESM-first, TypeScript-ready

I mostly made it for myself, but figured others m
