While researching how an iPad app should look, I came across this 13-year-old video of Spotify's iPad app. It reminds me how we are stuck in mobile app design.

We have achieved nothing in the last 13 years besides adding some meaningless gestures and maybe pushing a few pixels to the left or right (metaphorically).

@obrhoff is the layout ugly or hard to use? I'm not sure we need breakthrough innovations. Maybe we learned enough to make usable apps with established patterns. I mean my browser looks very much the same for thirty years I think. The biggest innovation was to combine search and address bar years ago.

@Killerdackel @obrhoff Vertical tabs seem like a fairly recent addition to (mainstream) browsers.
