Matt Godden#Aperture remains the single finest #UI style #Apple has produced in its entire history. In my greatest tech fantasy of Apple devices, it would be #Mac, #iPad, and #iPhone all using Aperture's grey UI meat, button styles, and gentle #Skeuomorphism.
AdventureTense@metaning I really enjoyed using Aperture back in the day, especially version 2. First time with nondestructive editing. Was such a great time to be on the Mac.
@adventure_tense no matter how much companies like Apple talk about “delight” or “magic” in their products, Aperture was one of those astoundingly rate pieces of software that was pretty much entirely without pain points. Every feature, every workflow was “if you could have this exactly as you would like it”. It was a tool whose operation was so sublime, it made you want to do the task, just to use the tool to do it.
I don’t think Apple is remotely capable of doing that any more.
