We often design for feedback. Pings. Likes. Motion. Interruptions that ask for attention.
But some of the deepest connections do not make noise.
They come from presence. From restraint. From being there without demanding to be seen.
I came across a quiet reflection that captured this in a way I didn’t expect. It used feline behavior as metaphor.
Cats do not perform affection. They observe. They stay. And when they choose you, it means something.
It made me wonder: what would it look like to build interfaces that behave that way?
Not flashy or addictive. Just trustworthy. Calm. Available without shouting.
This piece explores that kind of stillness in a beautifully subtle way:
👉 They Say Cats Don’t Love You, But What If Love Has Always Been Quiet?
Let me know if this resonates with your approach to product or design. Would love to hear how you interpret silence as a design value.
