Mintlify's design philosophy prioritizes principles over process, emphasizing speed and agility. The company adopts a simple, free-form, and lean design process that encourages close collaboration between designers and developers. Great design should feel natural and seamless, guiding the user through its components without explicitly drawing attention to its design. This approach is reflected in Mintlify's documentation, which is designed to be intuitive and non-obstructive for users. The company aims to make its users proud of their documentation, offering a balance between making reasonable assumptions and giving users the freedom to customize their documentation. By listening to user feedback and iterating on their designs, Mintlify strives to create magical moments in their products.
