I’ve been exploring the theme of simplification, how people throughout history have managed to strip complexity down to its essence. Along the way, I collected 111 quotes, principles, and patterns on the art of simplification.

As an experiment, I also built interactive "digital twins" of some of history’s greatest simplifiers. You can chat with them to see how their thinking might apply to your own problems.

It’s a free project, just something I’ve been tinkering with, and I thought folks here might appreciate it. Curious what you think, and whether there are other "simplifiers" worth adding.
