Thanks so much for telling me this… three minutes into playing the game. One of the most useless notifications ever.
Mario GuzmánMac apps used to be both functional and also very beautiful. That is, until the Flat UI folks got involved and ruined it all with their “Less is More”, elevated-content, Dieter Rams-wannabe bullshit.
Look how gorgeous and usable this app looks. You *actually* want to use it.

It’s “butterfly keyboard” all over again. How depressing.

Peter N LewisSo just so we're clear, my iPhone running last years iOS and I get to choose: Upgrade to Ugly Glass or risk exposing basically everything on the phone including passwords to any web site. Wow, that's really an impressive new low for Apple.

Brent Simmons@Doomscroll In my case, I’m engineer and designer. But I’ve been engineer-only sometimes, and there are some things engineers can control: bugs, performance, latency, and stability. Even an app with a middling design can be better-loved than a well-designed competitor app that crashes, has bugs, is slow, and is otherwise frustrating to actually use despite its better design.
Do those things. Do them as part of everyday practice; do them even when management isn’t asking for them.

As of today, all mentions of Liquid Glass have disappeared from developer.apple.com (the main home page). This may or may not mean anything... but I've been watching for it.
John BalestrieriApple violating basic tenets of the OS for… marketing purposes?
Why must my Applications folder be cursed with identically named apps?
