Well, until "later", this minimalistic UI is an end-user interface.
So just for the record, this does not mean you are free from writing
documentation or thinking about processes that humans use for work.

That said, following a "worse is better" approach and just getting
something simple working (meaning "operable by human beings but not
necessarily perfect") before adding the bells and whistles certainly
makes sense.  I'm not unhappy with that outcome.
