There is a fundamental flaw with #Flutter.

#LiquidGlass and #MaterialExpressive exposed it.

They draw on a canvas. Native frameworks get platform updates for free. Flutter has to rebuild them by hand.

Moving that work out of the core and handing it to the community doesn't fix it. The gap will keep reopening every time Apple or Google ships something new.

Flutter will always be one design era behind.

Moxxy becomes expressive

After a year-long hiatus, I'm back to working on the #Moxxy user interface. This time, I've added an onboarding process for new users and redesigned the home screen, which is now cleaner and offers more features.

Hi fellow @penpot users!
I made a small #python script that converts JSON files exported from the official Material Theme Builder into Penpot-compatible token files.
Very useful if you want to try multiple color schemes!

I'm constantly impressed by Android 16, and the Material Expressive UI is a genuine leap forward. 👏

The new motion physics make everything from swiping to dismissing notifications feel so fluid and natural. You can tell the design team at Google put in a lot of research to make the OS feel more personal.

Major props to the entire team at Google. You absolutely nailed it!

Material Expressive theme for miniflux

I love rss. Until Aug 17, 2025, I used netnewswire with icloud syncing to read all the rss feeds that I’ve been collecting and curating since 2002. On Aug 17, 2025, I decided to try self hosting my rss feed parser using miniflux. It’s a neat little open source, fully free service that can be hosted on docker.

It also supports adding your own css so you can make it look the way you want. I created a light and dark theme for it based on material 3 expressive.

Check out the repo and star if you like it.
