I am tempted to try this on some unfinished projects to try to suss out their flaws that I only subconsciously am aware of.

  In a similar vein, I start projects by writing a README. It forces me to see with the user's eyes, which makes the difference obvious between what I think is a good interface and what is actually a good interface. It has worked well. I recommend it!

    There's a big flaw in your method: users never read the README.

      Github displaying readme.md by default has probably boosted viewings of readmes by a million percent. Whether reading of readmes has gone up is still an unsettled question

      I always at least scroll through it and enjoy it when someone took the time to write a great one.
