name items
Color & Contrast
Don't use gray text on colored backgrounds

name items
Layout & Space
Don't wrap everything in cards
Don't nest cards inside cards
Modals are lazy. Only use modals if there's truly no better alternative
name items
Motion
Don't animate layout properties (width, height, padding, margin) - use transform instead
Don't use bounce or elastic easing - they feel dated and tacky; use ease-out-quart/quint/expo

Don't repeat the same information (redundant headers, intro restating heading, etc.)
