Warpspire had a great read on the design process behind GitHub for Mac.
It’s always inspiring to see other people’s creative process. It’s a good reminder that we all start with the same thing:
An idea.
From there, it’s all a process, step by step. It’s not as if successful projects have a head start.

One common thread I find in these kind of ‘success’ stories is this:

This concept can be applied from code to creative.
When I’m working on a web project, 8 out of 10 times I ask my wife what she thinks, she doesn’t like it. I cringe when I ask her. However, 10 out of 10 times I take her impressions to heart, I am happier with the finished product.
Give this article a read. It starts from the initial conceived idea and leads all the way to what they plan on for the future.
