Itching for a Redesign

TAGS:

It's been just over a year since I rolled out the current design of Pixels and Widgets and for the past four weeks, I've been itching to tear it down and start all over again.

I guess the question that occurs to me is: Why redesign a site that you barely update?

While such attention to detail may not be appreciated in the specific case, however, I’ve found that in aggregate it leads to an overall impression of quality that attracts the kind of fanatically devoted users who form the backbone of a growing, long term user base. Shipping quality is a longer, tougher road than just shipping whatever to be first to market, and its benefits tend to be realized more slowly, but if you want users to love your software as a brand, and not merely use it as a commodity, it’s the only way.

From Buzz Andersen's Blog, author of many delicious Mac OS X and iPhone apps (via Andre Torrez's posts on using Android G1 for a month)

He totally nails it. It's all in the details, and I think that the Android ecosystem will struggle with this for a long time.
