summary

Title warns against copying Airbnb yet says more: stop choosing ready‑made UI and search for evidence about how a convention actually performs for this product. Cite information cascades, hamburger menus and mystery‑meat nav as failure modes, keep a Zettelkasten or plain text notes (example: E‑Macs workflow, The Archive) to surface new combinations, use first principles thinking (Elon Musk anecdote about buying raw materials vs rockets) and alternate explore/exploit timing to build solutions tailored to real users.
