The Interclue Manifesto

• Every pixel counts.
• The value of our users' screen real estate and mouse travel time must be respected.
• Users should have as much control as possible over their browsing environment.
• User augmentation cannot come at the cost of user irritation.
• Functionality is useless without usability and discoverability.
• We will always maintain the privacy and security of our users.
• We seek as much feedback and interaction with our users as possible.
• We will strive to increase the value of the web as a knowledge repository and a means of discourse.
• We are a responsible, sustainable endeavour and our profitability is not the be all and end all.
• However, we are also a commercial endeavour and seek to bring our investors an excellent ROI.
• We will never stop looking for more ways to increase the value of the time people spend online.

Interclue Development Policies

• Our development policies are guided by our manifesto.
• We never fail to consider our users' privacy and security when making development decisions.
• We will aim to support as many browsers as possible, through any means necessary.
• We will test our releases well, and work towards having a full set of automated QA tests.
• We will design our default options for a mainstream audience.
• But we will let power users have as much control as possible over their user experience.
• We will write internationalised code, and we intend to support as many languages as possible.
• We will try to increase exposure for emerging web standards and open APIs.
• We seek to augment existing tools, practices and standards, rather than trying to replace them.
• We will release our own API, and provide support for third-party developers using Interclue as a platform.
