## Subtleties

"Diffrerence" is not always "better", but "better" is always different. Pursuing "better" in every details make our components is different, and also better naturally.

### Compositive innovation

## Definiteness

### Object oriented

<img class="preview-img" align="right" alt="Typography Sample" description="Following『intimacy』principle, get the distance by a specified n value" src="https://os.alipayobjects.com/rmsportal/WNEbRORxzEvvFKy.png">

<img class="preview-img no-padding good" align="right" alt="Feedback - Good" description="Unify and simpcify the button text to same text like `Ok` or `Actions` in all situations, improve designers experience by sacrifice a little user experience." src="https://os.alipayobjects.com/rmsportal/rtbYGKfPOpWRJID.png">

<img class="preview-img no-padding bad" align="right" alt="Feedback - Bad" description="It is better for this certain situation but a disaster for text maintainers. It is very easy to make typo mistakes cause text are different and unpredicable in every pages." src="https://os.alipayobjects.com/rmsportal/OWLtvGCGmqawyPt.png">

We create a object-oriented design method and abstract UI patterns. That help us to do our jobs with continuity.
