Applying App Design Principles to Build a More Ethical Society

As someone who works in finance but loves building apps, I’m curious about a crossover idea. In app development, we always start with the user their needs, frustrations, and goals. What if we applied that same ‘user-centered design’ mindset to shaping our communities and institutions? Instead of top-down rules, could we design societal systems by truly understanding and prioritizing human well-being? I’d love to hear your thoughts on where this analogy holds up or falls short.
